What a wonderful trip that we made to Mark Haddon in the brain of this teenager! He managed to finesse us discover this world of autistic children with their strengths and weaknesses, their sensitivity and logic. After reading this book, one can not look at our lives with the same look. It makes us look back on ourselves, on agreements or unspoken codes of our civilizations, the unsaid, as if happening on the other side of a mirror to better observe. And if it was he who was right? Intense pleasure of reading guaranteed, whatever your age.
