Intriguing characters and persuasive story line. I kept coming back to find out what happens next. This book generated the most conversation from our group despite varied ratings of the book.

Story about the life of someone with aspergers. The trials and tribulations through a lifetime of challenges. Our club learned a lot about this disease and it provides insight into people lives with aspergers.

I read this novel as a high school student and liked it then but now 40 years later I loved it! The meaning behind the events and subtle humor held me captive to the story. I recommend this book to young and not so young.

I found this book boring. I could not wait for it to be over. It seemed to drag on and on. There was nothing that seemed interesting or insightful. Lots of redundancy with loose ends. The main character so was full of himself and supporting characters were weakly constructed.Do not waste your time.

I could not put it down. There were twists and unexpected turns throughout the book. The information about the Olympic training and bike racing on the velodrome track was interesting The characters were well developed, the choices made by the characters make for good discussion. I recommend this book.
