Eye Contact - Cammie McGovern
None of my toppling bookpile books were doing it for me so I grabbed one off the master bookshelves that looked like a quick read.
A quick read it was and I appreciated a couple of things the author was trying to do: most importantly drawing attention to the autistic community and generate a conversation and understanding of the true needs of the entire community - parents, teachers, society and the child and his/her peers. Secondly, in relation to the plot points, she threw in a lot of red herrings. I understand the purpose, but I found this along with the structure of the book, with the flashbacks and interwoven cast of characters to be rather confusing. (Though it could also be my frame of mind at this point too, which has little focus and not the author's fault). I have another book by McGovern that I will delve into and see if it's really me or if she simply is not an author I prefer.
