My oldest kid suggested that I read this, that it would be a quick and strange read. He was right on both counts.

A middle-grade adventure with alien imposters. Supposedly reworked in 2007, but felt like a book from the 80s in terms of tired gender politics. Probably pretty engaging for kids of the right age?

The book opens with an exciting balance between the world of a child on spectrum and the magic of his imagination. We are then led through a grim world in which the adults around him are struggling to support him and are loaded down with their own problems. The main character goes on an adventure and somehow comes out of it with more content balance.

Given the style of the text and how it replicates a constant internal dialogue going through “what it might be like to be autistic”, it is amazing that the author also manages to keep his reader engaged. The presumption on this narrative voice is forgotten because of his poetry.… (lisätietoja)

These stories by Mark Haddon are worlds in themselves. In each, it took me a few paragraphs to get orientated before finding myself immersed in a curious blend of intimacy and overview. This blend of perspective seems to be what links the stories. Other than that, the stories are entirely different. I would go as far saying almost from different literary genres. The intimacy comes from extremely personal perspectives (often at the point of death) that can't help but be moving or at least thought provoking. The overviews remind me of the way in which characters in Tom Tykwer's film film Run Lola Run are given rapidly unfolding fates - as if a series of camera snapshots. I could revisit each story but I'd just be looking for evidence to confirm these thoughts. Mark Haddon is a truly gifted writer. Thanks for sending me this Jim.… (lisätietoja)

I count this as one of the first "lit" books I ever read, mostly because I saw someone reading it and it sounded fascinating.

I should reread it sometime; I honestly don't remember that much about it. I know I really liked the math and the math references, and I know I found it a fascinating peek into someone else's mind.
