I found myself smiling or chuckling pretty often as I listened to this book. The narrator did a great job and the writing really helped me get a first-person perspective on what it must be like to be on the Autism Spectrum (called Asperger’s Syndrome back then). I think Mark Haddon wrote this with a very compassionate lens and there are so many people who should read this story. Really well done overall, with a sweet ending. Definitely recommend!
