This was a fascinating look into the mind of an autistic savant, who does a great job of describing what it's like inside his brain. (He memorized pi to more than 22,500 decimal places and learned the Icelandic language in less than a week!) Since so many savants are not able to analyze and share what goes on inside "their world," this book is a rare treat and gives a reminder of just how miraculous the human brain really is.

Fascinating account of how Facebook came to be.

Another book I couldn't put down!! Imagine having being born with a twin you never knew you had because in a life changing moment your twin was given away because he/she wasn't viewed as "normal." This book was set back in the 60's when down syndrome was not accepted as it is today. Children who were born with abnormalities were sent away to institutions as what was supposed to happen in this story. Being someone who grew up babysitting a little boy with downs i felt like i could personally relate to the character who would raise and be the mother to this otherwise views cast away by her father. This book was full of emotion as i read it and the chapters flashed between two separate family lives following both of the twins as they grow and mature. I felt anger, sadness and depression, excitement, happiness, and towards the end i felt like a personal cheerleader! I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a great read!
