15. Why The World Should Read This Book? This is a very good book which can capture people’s attention very well and uses lots of descriptive words to express a person’s feelings, characters. Instead of telling, she shows. For example: he growls, and he lunges for his brother. This book also proves that a child with Asperger’s Syndrome isn’t a retarded kid but a smart kid like normal kids. They are just lacking in social communications skills with the outside world.
