Done! It was a fast and very refreshing read as compared to the last novel I took up. As it is categorized under Young Adult Fiction, the narration was quite straight-forward yet highly entertaining. I guess I could blame my sleepless nights on this piece of lit because I had a difficult time putting it down. Haddon is truly a gifted writer!

Oh boy... I don't know what to make of this book. To tell you the truth, it took me months (4 months to be exact) to finish it.
Maybe it's because of her writing style. She commonly used all these flashbacks in her novel which made it quite confusing for me to keep track of the story. In fact, in the early stages of reading it, I had to go back to the beginning maybe two to three times just to refresh my memory of what she had earlier written. The unusual names of the characters in the book were also a struggle for me to recall.
With that said, I am just glad I'm done and definitely over with it. On to the next...
