Fascinating and indefinitely quietly sad. I felt pulled into the novel while wanting to cringe away from its realities all at the same time.
if you are a teacher and you think you might one day come in contact with a child who has autism, you have to read this book! no amount of looking over some lame statistics or textbook chapters will give you the amount of info learned from spending a couple of days with this novel. it's a quick, easy read, yet takes you straight into the mind of an autistic person. on top of all of that, it's a great story, too.

I thought this book was fascinating. It was so interesting to get a glimpse into what goes on in an autistic person's mind. Granted I know no two are alike, like any person, but I learned a lot about Christopher's thought process, and thus learned more about autism. It was a very good book and I flew through it. Excellent.

I really liked it, especially the math-y parts. But there was something a little strange about it...
Not sure what all the hype was about really. It seemed overdone and trying too hard to me.
