This book was good. Although I know the repeated mention of weight and BMI was meant to show the characters analytical approach I found it a bit uncomfortable and it could be upsetting to people who struggle with body image or eating disorders.

mollyg1bbs's review against another edition

This is a very disappointing read. It shows caricatures of autism that are completely unresearched. The humour falls flat and feels cruel with jokes focussing on weight and also general distaste towards women characters. Overall very disappointing book.
