I've been hearing about this book for a long time, so I finally put it on my library list and read it. It is a story told from the point of view of a teenage boy with autism. It was a very quick read, and I would recommend it to people who work with children or anyone who is curious about how autism works in the mind.
The plot is supposed to be the search for a dog's killer, but it turns out to be more about what the young boy goes through and discovers about his family as he digs around for the dog's killer.
I would say that this is an okay book, really fast to read, but I still would recommend Look Me In the Eye by John Elder Robison (Augusten Burroughs' brother) for a better understanding of autism/aspergers.
