Warning, Spoilers Below!I burned through this book in one evening. Some of the reviews above do make me question the authors motivation for having a protagonist who is "high functioning Aspergers student" I have read "Curious Incident of the Dog in the nighttime" which seems to be a little more grounded in the limitations that autistic people have. While I enjoy the way Colin evolves in the book, it all seemed a little too neat and too fast. I am also not sure why the need for the footnotes, while useful, they felt as if they were set apart from the plot. I found the story funny and would hope there might be a sequel. I see parallels between Colin's hero, Sherlock Holme and himself, especially since I am a big fan of the latest incarnation of the detective, Sherlock. I hope to see Wayne evolve from bully antagonist to a sort of Watson character and am I the only one who sees Rudy T. Moore as Colin's Moriarty? I don't know is a sequel is in the offing, but we have four years of Colin solving the mysteries of High School. I understand it is supposed to be difficult to relate to Colin and his tendencies, but I found the other characters around him a bit overwrought. I have worked in public education for 10 years (including middle and high school) and never has anyone gotten their head stuck in a toilet. Some of the events just seemed overdramatized for the sake of the narrative, which made the entire novel hard to swallow.
What do You think about Questione Di Dettagli (2013)?
Wy didnt this book win any awards? So much better than message driven Wonder.
