Given that this book has been out for about two years, there's a great amount of feedback in the form of reviews and critiques. I've been sent a few tips to some personal reviews by bloggers.

Livre d'Or (which is French for "Golden Book" or, litereally, "Book of Gold") gives an account of the reader's reasons for reading and liking the book. This blogger says she was skeptical of the idea of Christopher's role as an autistic teen, but that she was brought around due to the book's "clear-eyed view of disability." (Sidenote: I was surprised to see that this is a LiveJournal, as they are generally listed as personal "teen" blogs with no content. Here we see a post marking an exception to that rule.)

Dr. Jerz sent me this link as I began this project, and I was waiting for the proper moment to include it here on Dust Jacket. Interestingly enough, Livre d'Or also linked to this blog citing it as knowledgeable. (I assume that the two bloggers are friends and have linked to each other's work to gain readership.)

The blogger has experience working with autistic children, specifically boys.

I was hugely impressed with the way in which Mark Haddon accurately captures the misunderstandings, novel interpretations and unconventional outlook that are so characteristic of people with Asperger syndrome. The narrative, told from Christopher’s perspective, is utterly brilliant, very funny, and will strongly resonate with anyone who has spent time with anyone with AS. --Hanna, join-the-dots

I also came across a mention of the book on a site called "Enpsychlopedia," through Psych Central. The site uses the same information found on the Wikipedia site for the book. (Be warned that this link contains some spoilers.)

Found through the BBC "Ouch!" weblog for the disabled, I found this "glowing" review through Guardian Unlimited Books.

And finally, although entirely redundant and childish, this listing of the book caught my eye because of the international response it has garnered. The site it geared towards a youinger audience, but I never mind hearing what children have to say about books I have read/am reading--frequently their perspectives can be more general, but unmarred by closed thinking we adults tend to develop.
