Good Read and interesting to many people.
I am the only one in my book club that gave this book a #3. I just didn't like it and I believe that is a personal thing. The book affects you on many different levels.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Enjoyable and Enlightening - Great Read!
Fantastic book on many levels. To a degree it is a mystery, but it is also so much more than that. Beautifully and inventively told in the first person through the eyes of an autistic teenager. It gave me great insights into the life of a relative I have who is on the autism spectrum. It was hard to put down and easy to read. Inspiring as well.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

A good read
Haddon is a brilliant storyteller. Presenting the English town Swindon from the perspective of a problem child, an autistic savant and math genius who claims, "I see everything," Haddon gives us an alternative view of the entire world and universe, strange yet valid. It is fun to follow this child as he solves crimes and tackles life problems. The book is such a great read! No wonder it garnered so many prestigious awards! Recommend highly!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

First book I recommend to a friend
Fresh, engaging - a compelling tale told from the viewpoint of a young man who embraces the world in way that draws the reader into his struggles and triumphs. A wonderful heartwarming, eye opening read that has compelled me to buy multiple copies just to give them away and encourage others to broaden their world with a smile.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
