Learned a lot about autism and the effects on the person as well as the family. Was disappointed in the ending since an easier outcome was so obvious. Nobody wanted to ask Jacob if he killed the girl simple question like that answered properly, and I guess there would’ve been no story..

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.
