The Universe Versus Alex Woods by Gavin Extence

hopeful informative reflective slow-paced

It's a lot like Curious Incident, in that there are some really great moments, but ultimately it feels a bit like reading a text book. I didn't not enjoy it, but I found some bits to be a bit draggy. It's not a book that I would usually have picked up, but I am glad I read it. I think perhaps it could have been the wrong time for me to read, and I may read again in a different frame of mind, but the subject matter is certainly intense, and it makes the reader ask questions of the characters and themselves, too. It's a good book, if sometimes a little long-winded.
