I love this book!!! I to have Aspergers, and I encourage any one with or with out the autism to learn and except me and others like me for who we are!!!

 
  "Griping!" by ktsmiles (see profile) 11/12/10

I couldn't put this one down! Just when I thought that "books just aren't written like they used to be", this one blew me away! So suspenseful and well written. Loved every minute of it!

 
  "SB" by sandyburns (see profile) 01/18/11

I thought it was disturbing. I did not like how it depicted autism (I am a mother of an autistic child). It did keep me interested in the way you see a horrible accident about to happen and you can't look away. We did have good discussion in our bookclub on what would you do for your child to protect them.

  "Saving Max" by Grosland (see profile) 03/16/11

This is such a great book! I'm a big fan of murder mysteries and this one is one of my favorites. It kept me guessing right until the very end. Super!!!

 
  "Raving Review" by christiscina (see profile) 05/16/11

This book was wonderful. I could not put it down once I started it. I couldn't wait to get finished because I couldn't stand the anticipation of how the book was going to end. The mother drove me insane with trying to find out the answers. I just knew that she was going to get caught and end up in jail and her son would be in the system forever.

 
  "Saving Max" by hellison (see profile) 05/16/11

I really enjoyed this book. As soon as I started I was drawn into the story and couldn't put it down. It really shows a mother's love and what great lengths she will go to to save her child. I loved it.

 
  "Saving Max or saving mom?" by poohnuts26 (see profile) 07/31/11

It is too much in one book -- is it a romance novel or a story about single mother's raising autistic children or a about a psychopath who has children just to destroy them or about the mental health industry and how psychiatric hospitals manage their patients (and their respective families) -- and whichever theme you choose, none of it is believable. The author comes across as a novice writer working really hard on using descriptive words. The author was so clever with her words, the story lacks character depth or credibility.
