I enjoyed reading this one, but the events and messages are already fading from my memory. The opening events hooked me, but I think after a certain point, I kept reading simply because I'd gotten so far into it already, and the story was still fairly compelling. Just didn't mean a lot to me. Wasn't left with deep thoughts or questions. The narrator kept me - appropriately - at arm's length, and there I stayed.

Loved this book! Written from the perspective of a boy with Asperger's Syndrome. Very well done.

Very quick read, finished in one day. We are going to see the play in San Francisco tomorrow.
