  4. I am usually not a fan of novels, but this novel is very interesting. I really like this novel because I can really relate to it. Mathew’s/Moose’s sister Natalie has autism and lives in her own world. I have a brother who is the same way. He has it mildly, but believe me mildly is enough.

  6. At first, the book did not appeal to me at all. It seems as though as i read more, the more interested I became. The ending was very surpising, I definantly wasn't expecting it. I've finished the book, and it's definantly worth a read.

  8. I love the part when Moose found Natilie sitting next to the convict with the number 105.
    That part made my heart beat ten times faster!
    I agree with Ana; Natalie is my favorite character because of her innocence and originality.

  11. I remember this book, it was o.k.ish, I gave it a 7. When I last read it, but I am a picky person and I would recomend it to people. It can be pretty interesting in places. I like this book.

  12. I just recently finished the book, and i will give it a 8 out of 10.
    My reasoning for this is because the book was pretty boring at first, but became more interesting towards the middle.
    Overall, it was a great read and a good book. I would reccomend it, depending on if they could use some endurance in the beggining of the book. :D

  15. I have another comment, this book is really is really catching on , Moose is really likes his sister, for example, Piper and Thereasa I think were testing Natalie to see if she was dumb or not, then Moose got mad and said something to them, but it all work out for the best cause Natalie told the straight every time the both of them had a math question for her.

  19. Let me think from. On a scale from 1-10
    I would rate this book 100! This turned out to be a very good book. I have to admit the fact that it sounded a little boring,and yet attention grabbing at the beginning. However towards the middle and ending it became very interesting. I would recommend this book to anyone.
