This author has a terrific sense of humor. Written from the perspective of each character, I cared about all the characters. I was hesitant about reading this because I liked The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time so much and didn't think a second book could live up to that one. This one did. I enjoyed it immensely and parts of it are laugh-out-loud funny.

Gee, maybe something's wrong with my sense of humor. I found this book depressing even though I loved "The Curious Incident...".

I laughed out loud in some parts of this book--seems to say a lot of things we might think, but don't say! Just an interesting, honest book about an unperfect family--enjoyed it.
