Don is not your traditional romantic hero. He's not romantic, he's not a hero. Funny and enjoyable, the book offers insight into Aspergers, its literal nature. My son once said that if everyone had Aspergers, the world would be a better place, more honest and without guile. That's how this book reads. Honest, guileless, and if it doesn't remind you of at least one person you know, then I'll be very surprised. The follow up is also rated. By me.
