“The character is very recognisable of many people with Asperger syndrome. I think the author has done a very good job.”
“It looks at the world through someone else’s eyes and sees how things that we take for granted might be a terrifying experience for other people.”
“Mark Haddon wrote a spy series for eight- or nine-year-olds and then he suddenly comes out with this rather brilliant novel. Is it an adult book? Is it a kids’ book? So many people can read it and approach it.”
