I read this because my book group wanted to review it. I thought it had been written by 2 different ghost-writers. (Another woman in the group said it was under-edited) The one thing the book demonstrated most clearly: England is a better place to be for medical treatment. The school also was far more accepting of young David than U.S. schools are about autistic students.

This was a very interesting book about Savant Syndrome, synesthesia and autism. I liked Tammet's accounts of learning Icelandic and memorizing the number pi up to over 22,500 digits.
