Wow. I hated this book so much. So incredibly much.

First of all, the entire book is peppered with profanity on every other page, and I don't need my brain filled with ugly words like that. Secondly, every single character is selfish and mean-spirited. Even Christopher is horrible. Just because you're autistic is no reason to be selfish and rude to everyone.

I have known many autistic children. I'm a teacher; some of my students are autistic, but that doesn't excuse selfish attitudes and bad behavior. Most of my students have been very sweet, generous, compassionate people. So what's wrong with this author that he thinks this makes a good story, to tell about a child's selfishness ruining people's lives? No matter what your disability or mental illness, everyone still has a choice to be kind, obedient, and respectful.

I just hated everyone in this book. I hated the story. I hated the writing style. Why did I even bother to finish reading it? I don't know. Colossal waste of time.
