I enjoyed this book enough to finish it but not enough to keep it. I found the main character's personality and his autism fascinating and really felt for him. The problem I had was the fair amount of swearing in the book and his attachment to math. I find both nearly equally painful :).
Even minor characters were pretty well drawn by means of dialog and I was really cheering for the boy in each predicament he fell into. The humor is a bit of a relief from his dry math oriented viewpoint. Overall he felt realistic and someone I could care about.
