Mark Haddon! WOW! Not only is this book for teens and adults, but it is both a mixture of humour and sadness. it includes 100 genres all in one. there's the life thorugh an autistic boy, and it is brilliantly set out. 10/10.

i like the picture at the top of this page, but was it really taken in portsmouth? or has it been lifted from the internet? if it has been lifted, then does it not need to be refrenced? i could never see anyone being able to read like that in portsmouth without being knifed.
