dundermifflin 's review for:

Ginny Moon by Benjamin Ludwig

I have tremendous respect for families with an autistic child after listening to just two of the CDs. I was exhausted by how Ginny relates her story. The repetition of her explanations for why she does things and how she does things ground me down. I could imagine how parents feel in that situation. Her inability to express what her needs are (despite telling everyone over and over how she needs to get back to get her baby doll) was frustrating.
I admire parents with an autistic child for their patience, resilience, fortitude and love.

It reminded me a bit of Still Alice in the way that Ginny relates her thoughts, although reading SA was like reading a horror novel that I couldn't put down.

***Looked for a review with spoilers to confirm how I suspected the book would end. Bingo! I was right on the money. For that alone, I'm happy that I didn't finish the book.
