>Is it good?
We are listening to the audio book, having heard part of it serialised on the wireless.
It's very funny, if you like that sort of thing....I'm doubled up with laughter half the time. The narrator is around 12yo and has Aspergers, which is to say he is gifted and disabled both at once. He has a fondness for prime numbers, and does maths problems like counting to 20 meaning he counts 2 to the first power and then 2 to the second and so on up to 2 to the 20th to create some order in his mind. I don't normally read fiction....I have to be convinced that there is a voice worth listening to....my way of relaxing when things get too much is to read about the leadup to WWI, and have a good long think about it.
