Moving
I really enjoyed this book. Not my usual reading but part of a book club, so glad I was brought to it. Beautifully written, gave me an appreciation for the needs of someone with Asperger’s.

Touching, Funny, Interesting, and Important!
This is at times funny, at times heart-wrenching, at times uplifting, and always interesting. The protagonist's voice is immediately engaging...you fall in love with his character from the beginning and stick by/root for him through every journey and episode; and Woodman's voice simply enhances these feelings. If you ever have a chance to see the play, SEE IT! #Audible1

Full immersion into a fascinating mind
This book has been incorrectly labeled as a mystery novel, which I assume caused people to give it lesser reviews. Instead, it is chance to immerse oneself fully into the fascinating mind of an endearing character. The supporting characters are well rendered: fully human and believable. The pace of the story is perfect, and the charcter's world is easy to imagine. Like any good YA book, the story is compelling at a basic level, but older and adult listeners will understand all the subtlies. The narrator is extraordinary, easily able to give distinct voices and spot-on emotion for each character.

Heartbreaking view of life as a neurodivergent kid
narrator did very well! takes a bit to get into as it seems childish at first, but the mic drop moment a few chapters in will make you finish the book.

very original
this is not like the average book. Mark did an amazing job describing everything from the perspective of a kid with odd behavior. And Jeff did an amazing job too on narrating it.

Powerful Perspective
I always appreciate hearing a story told from a perspective that opens me up to how others engage in the world. This book took me more deeply into the autism spectrum than any assessment & treatment book could.
