4.5

The book was really nice. There were certainly times were I felt for the side characters who had to take care of Christopher and sometimes there were times that I felt for Christopher himself. I could say that in some ways it was a conflicting book because no side you choose is the right answer and you can't find a satisfactory answer to the question 'what would I do if I was in that situation?'.

lavalaempchen's review against another edition

This book is so full of ableism and just plane wrong. It hurts me to have read something like that and even spending money for it. 
The author neither did research, nor is he a good writer.
