I wish the end would have been a little different, but it was still amazing. I could not put the book down! I would personally recommend this book to every in the 6th and 7th grade.

  5. After reading this book, I look at special needs people a whole different way. I also looked at life in a new perspective while reading this. I felt like it really changed my thoughts on certain people. The only thing I didn't like about the book was that it didn't really leave me on the edge of my seat. Yes, it was interesting, but there weren't many cliff-hangers...I know it sounds weird but I really like stuff that leave me hanging in books.

  8. I just started this book and i am not really enjoying it. I agree with everyone in the comments above and that he is a very good writter and storyteller. I will never look at special needs people again. This book dosent reach out and grab the reader because it dosnet have as much action and cliff hangers in this story to really make someone read this book nonstop. I think i should of read a diffrent book. In the end i dont recommend this book to anyone who likes action packed books

  9. Jason's personality is what kept me reading this book and got me hooked I don't see why people would even think about making fun of him or anything I mean he seems to be really sweet. I have never read a book about an Autistic boy ,but after I read this I want to read more..

  19. I love how the author shows us what autism really is. she never sugar-coated it or made it worse then it is. I just wanted the ending to give us more information.
