This is one of those books that deals with a topic so unique and fascinating that it feels as though it were a piece of fiction. In fact, at times I had to flip to the back inside flap with the author bio to remind myself that this was an actual person's memoir. However, Daniel Tammet's award-winning autobiography is a completely true tale. Each chapter presented a new storyline that tied in wonderfully with the main theme: the challenges of living with autism and savant syndrome. There were so many interesting facts and memories perfectly recounted that it was insanely difficult to finish one chapter and not turn the page and continue reading. From learning about the efforts of Tammet's endlessly caring parents to his struggles with independence, this book is guaranteed to make you feel thankful for all the differences that determine who we are and who we become.
