Read 2 times. Last read May 17, 2017 to May 29, 2017.
Winner of the 2003 Whitbread Book Awards for Best Novel and the Book of the Year; the Commonwealth Writers' Prize for Best First Book; and the Guardian Children's Fiction Prize. On rereading, this is still an amazing book, Haddon's bestselling, eye-opening, both beautiful and heart breaking look at the world through the first person narrative of a person with an emotionally dissociated mind (autistic?).

A truly remarkable piece of a fiction, that is still yet to be really matched for its blend of reality, humour, pathos and pragmatism. A book that takes a high-functioning person with a social disability that not only shares their struggles but also goes all-out to highlight the positives (angering some of the community in the real world) of having such a condition. 9 out of 12.
