This book was fine. The general idea for a plot was okay but it was not for me for 2 main reasons. I prefer concise writing & in my opinion this book was probably 50 pages too long at a minimum. Additionally I did not find the conflict believable. As a final note, the character Kieko seemed like a caricature of an autistic person. She was supposed to have this huge vocabulary but while she did know a lot of big words some of them were clearly looked up in a thesaurus & plugged in simply to have a larger word when the word seemed to distort the meaning of the sentence.
