What an amazing person Daniel Tammet is! He is inspirational, funny, and an altogether great guy. One of the best books I've read this year. ( )

This is a fascinating story of a young man who has learned to live effectively with Asperger's Syndrome, turning his personal challenge into a valuable source of information and income. Tammet is an amazing savant and he has developed a well articulated dedication to helping others with specific challenges. His book is touching, informative, interesting, and well documented. ( )

A fascinating look into the mind of an incredible man. Tammet reveals what his life is like, living with the constraints and blessings of Asperger's. He filled my mind with ideas of learning and prevailing... What an inspiration and a gift. ( )

Very readable. But I came away thinking more that it's a light read about a really nice guy who has found his place in the world with some information on his particular gift, rather than any sort of real and fascinating insight into the workings of his mind and their implications. Maybe his follow-up has more meat to it. ( )

This book gave me a valuable new insight into the world of children and adults with autistic spectrum disorders and Asberger's. It is truly enlightening to see the world through the author's eyes.
Should be required reading for educators! ( )
