People have been telling me to read this forever, but I found it disappointing. Neither a true mystery nor compelling as a novel. Much prefer The London Eye Mystery, which also has an autistic teen boy as a protagonist, but a much better plot and more specific characterization.

I REALLY loved this character from the begining. I think he is genius, and I feel like I relate to him in a lot of ways. Very interesting ride. This is not for everyone. There were times when I didn't enjoy the story, but overall 5 stars.

It was charming and fascinating. It was an easy read. I can imagine that some people would find it boring or tedious. However, I am interested in psychology and the way the brain works. I would highly recommend it.
