It's a good book - quite captivating, and you're supposed to feel good about how things turn out. But in a way the book is terribly unfair. Because miracles don't happen to everyone. You hear through the whole story about everything the mother was doing wrong and everything that Sean was doing wrong and all the doctors were wrong... and then one day everything is roses and rainbows. It's almost like telling parents to just hang in there and one day your autistic child will "recover" too. It's not an accurate picture (the outcome anyway) and you won't learn anything that will help you and your child but it's a nice read.
