ellsbeth 's review for:

Marcelo in the Real World by Francisco X. Stork

4.0

---

I really enjoyed the voice of the main character in this book. It was intriguing to see the world from the narrator's perspective. The author created situations where common questions about the autism spectrum could be answered without making the reader feel less for having those questions or awkward for being curious about the answers. There were parts of the story that didn't really seem to fit. It seemed like the ending tried to very quickly tie everything up into a neat bow when it may have been better if it was left more open ended.
