>> Interesting but not page turning
The book provides rare perspective on the author s particular form of the disease but it s anti climatic If you re looking for a book with a story line that will suck you in this isn t the book for you But if you re looking for someone to give you clarity on what an autistic savant may see and how he may think and process things it s a lot better than a textbook
>> Great Book Fast Delivery
This is a great book I recommend it to everyone for a little insight on the widely misunderstood world of mental health
>> Interesting perspective merely an okay read
I ve been teaching for 20 years so I ve ran into a few students with Asperger s Syndrome over the years I am familiar with the condition and studied it in some depth in a class in my master s program I was hoping it would offer a little more insight and be as interesting as the video documentaries and news programs that have covered Mr Tammet over the years
Alas this read is not nearly as interesting as those presentations I found myself skimming sections such as the three pages about his self made game of solitaire and his detailed descriptions about number puzzles What s left is okay but in reality how much can a twenty something really say about himself that is that interesting He s just started his life so there s not to include in a memoir
Embracing the Wide Sky A Tour Across the Horizons of the Mind is his current book and it sounds like it was more like I was hoping this book would be I ll be looking into it
