Ok, this may make me a horrible person. But I really just wanted to throw this book across the room. The idea of having a narrator who is autistic is interesting and timely....but as a reader, you want characters to gain insight and learn through their interactions with others. I just wanted to punch him in the face. It's one thing to interact with someone who is autistic--but I absolutely was driven insane by his internal dialogue. 
 Yes, I know that was the point--that he CAN'T gain the insight I was craving. But this book just left me incredibly annoyed. 
 Autism spectrum disorders can be difficult to live with. I get that. But the narrative voice was so off-putting I couldn't get past it.
