This is a good one to branch out for, though! I loved the narrator in this book -- I have a fascination for the minds of autistic/Asperger's people since working with a darling little boy for over a year and even though I'm not sure how accurate this one is, it was awesome being inside Christopher's mind.LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11194834748090369779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243923798905252664.post-31192268318285003532012-01-06T08:54:20.932-08:002012-01-06T08:54:20.932-08:00So glad you liked this :) I hadn't heard of i...So glad you liked this :) I hadn't heard of it until it was on request when I worked at my campus library and the title was so interesting, I got hold of a copy for myself.

After she died I was going through her books and it looked interesting so I took it home and read it.<br />I didn't love it, but it was good and I enjoyed reading it.Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02748178730844113883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243923798905252664.post-7798332064286105782012-01-05T06:22:58.515-08:002012-01-05T06:22:58.515-08:00Isn't it great to start the year with a winner...Isn't it great to start the year with a winner? <br /><br />I also waited until all the hype settled down and read it in 2007.
