What I Just Finished Reading

"Writing his first novel from the point of view of an autistic 15-year-old, Mark Haddon takes the reader into the chaos of autism and creates a character of such empathy that many readers will begin to feel for the first time what it is like to live a life in which there are no filters to eliminate or order the millions of pieces of information that come to us through our senses every instant of the day."

Listened to this book in my car. What a great read, funny, poignant and insightfully written. Read the rest of the above quoted review here
