“Hello BassMan,
I did think this was a good book - a great one, in fact. It provides an enlightening and endearing insight into the life of a boy with Asperger's Syndrome. He embarks on an emotional and literal journey to discover the mystery behind a key that belonged to his father who passed away two years prior, on September 11th. Despite the potential for an emotionally heavy read, this book is wonderfully uplifting. You should read it and let me know what you think!”

“NY Chicago... that sounds a lot like this book I read, "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time"... you should check it out if you like that sort of thing. So where do you hang out these days? In New York?”
