This optimistic view is immediately contrasted by Adam, a young boy with developmental issues. He has extreme difficulty expressing himself, and his family has trouble understanding him. The novel chronicles the trials of the family as they begin to fall apart. Adam's unique perspective on the world creates an interesting twist. We're not always sure what to make of his weird statements, as things told from his POV sound weird or off, or may not have really happened. The writing is a little weird as a result of being from Adam's POV; he sometimes names things based on how they sound to him, for instance. Overall it's well done and lacks a lot of errors, at least any I think were intentional.The trials Adam and his family face reveal heartwarming scenes and messages for the reader. This story highlights issues people have seeing the intelligence and feelings of those with communication problems. Overall I think it's worth a read.
