Having worked with mentally handicapped people for many years, I wasn't sure what to expect with this book but once I started reading I realized that for once I wasn't on the outside looking in but actually going along with the main character for the "ride". To some this book might seem boring, dumb or even pointless but if you can manage to read this book and suspend everything you know about the world and life, you will find that life is what it is. Very logical, very black and white with no emotion. That is the life of an autistic person and even though it's difficult, maybe if the rest of us removed all of the "extra baggage" we have, we might have a little more tolerance for others and life might not need to be so complicated.
