I really liked the insight into AS this book provided.
I did however, find the ending a bit disappointing and rushed, considering the high level of detail in the rest of the book.

I thought it was very good, I really enjoy all of her books that I read. This one seems to have some really good descriptions of people on the Autism/Asperger's spectrum. I only gave it a 4 stars though cause I thought the ending was a bit more predictable then the other's I've read. Though maybe that's just cause I'm getting more used to her writing.

This book was so bad I didn't finish it. I figured out what happened to Jess about half way through. I felt like Jacobs character was over explained to the point it was irritating and everyone else was under developed.

Predictable, but well-structured
As others state, the book is heavily saturated in Asperger's Syndrome facts, but that's not really what bothered me at all. I found those facts, and the way in which they're presented to be quite fascinating. Instead, I'd say it had more of an issue keeping this mystery, well, mysterious. I made a prediction early on that more or less turned out to be true, which made everything that much more predictable. That being said, just because it's predictable doesn't make it bad. I enjoyed this story, as well as the characters strewn out throughout the entirety. I also liked the varying vantage points & voices.
