I must agree wholeheartedly with Jessica Cioffi's review of this book (see below under June 19). Christopher, an autistic teenager, narrates the story and frequently interjects random asides about his compulsions, his difficulties interpreting social cues, and his mathematical genius. Even though Christopher is a savant and excels in the field of mathematics, his autism makes it hard for him to relate to others and interact on an emotional level. Anyone interested in learning more about autism or searching for an engaging, amusing story need look no further.
