Intriguing and Delightful

You won't just learn about autism, you'll learn about life. It's a delightful read, I'd recommend it to anyone.

Autism Fiction

This book begins as a detective novel from the point of view of an autistic child, but turns into something else quite different by the end. Haddon does an excellent job of putting the reader in the mind of something with autism. Haddon also uses the book to talk about family relationships, parenthood, and marriage through a different lens than the normal fare. The pacing of the book is also excellent.
