I am inconsolable. What a man, what a chatacter, what an icon - you will always be dearly missed, Lou.

Sort of rambling at times, though very informative and interesting. I liked the parts on Islam and Judaism the most, but the critique on modern Christianity was wonderful. I love Armstrong's voice - I may read more by her.

I am shattered. Deeply evocative, dark book that upset me greatly. Made me think a lot about Asperger's as a label—especially as someone who is autistic—and what it means today. The descriptions of the child euthanasia program were chilling and the testimonies of survivors were horrifying. I am glad to have learned about it.

Wonderful book; I loved its focus towards an Autistic audience and it helped me a lot to think about myself as a disabled person, about my masking experiences, and what the world needs to do to better accept everyone. I loved it to pieces and I can't wait to have it physically.
