Nicole Really looking forward to reading this book. It's about a young Japanese boy with Autism. There have been some positive & some negative reviews, but I'm still willing to give it a go.
I think the cover is quite lovely as well.


Sophie (sawphie) I never thought I'd be interested in this kind of books, but after reading the summary, I just had to click on "Want to read" ;)
How did you find it?


Nicole It was ok, a very quick read. A good insight into his autism - but he can't speak for all people who have autism. It won't take you long to read!


Sophie (sawphie) Have you ever read The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time? It is also a story told from the perspective of an autist, it is very touching and funny at the same time.


Nicole Yes that one is on my TBR list!! I heard it was made into a play & the lead actor won a Tony for it.


Sophie (sawphie) I've never heard of the play, but I strongly advise you to read it soon, it is amazing!
