Anything But Typical Audiobook

" I think this is a good children's book to breach the subject of people being different and the struggles that come with Autistic Spectrum disorders. "

" This book brings life to a boy with autism and I feel this book has lots of meaning. "

" For some reason, this one reminded me of Sherman Alexie's Part Time Indian. For me, this story was just ok. I'm not sure what I was supposed to take away from it. "

" I adored this book, by probably the tenth page. Despite how simple it is to read, it's got a lot to think about. I think by the time I was finished, my roommate was sick of my shoving it under his nose and pointing to a passage. "

" it has a very interesting perspective, from an autistic. The end is very confusing though. "

" Great story, told from an autistic boy's POV, that really highlights that no matter how different we seem, we all have quite a bit in common. Amazing story. "

" Jason, a sixth-grade boy who has been diagnosed with autism, learns about love, friendship, and self-acceptance as he prepares to attend a creative writing workshop. "

" About a 12 year old autistic boy. He is the one writing the book and how he thinks and feels in all situations in his life. It is very interesting to see what his point of view is. "

" An absorbing book (I unintentionally read it in one sitting). The ending seemed very real, which is just how I like "

" Helped me understand my son so much better... and the mm in this book... it me. It's like the author has been spying on me! "

" This is written from the point of view of an autistic book. It was interesting to imagine him and the reasons for how he acts. I think students would gain some empathy from reading this. It somehow fits in a subgenre of realistic fiction - with handicapped person. "

" i think this book was inspiring because even though jason had a disibility he was still bright because he had his storyboard. "

" Life through the eyes of a 12-year-old autistic boy. Interesting. "

" This was good, but I have read so many really fabulous books about similar issues that this one didn't really hold up in omparison. It was fast and sweet, but not as insightful as others I've read. "

" Although interesting to learn about a child with autism, the plot was too predictable. "

" just ok. asperger boy. rather cliche. "

" This was one of the best realistic fiction books I have ever read! It was absolutely amazing, I had a hard time putting it down. I loved it! "

" Great book! Anything but Typical is about an autistic 6th grade kid. The book is written in first person, and it is really interesting to look through the eyes of somebody who is autistic. "

" Similar to "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime". "

" This was an odd book. It was one I read for school and I would not read again unless I had to. "

" Good pair with Draper's Out of My Mind to remind us that even we can't hear someone in a 'normal' way, their desire for expression is just as large as ours. If we can't understand, the onus is on us to learn to understand. Similar non-fairy-tale endings on these two titles as well. "

" I loved Jason's voice in this story. It really made me think about how hard it can be for someone who is autistic. It was laugh out loud funny in some parts and heart breaking in others. I'm glad I gave this a try. "

" This book was a good read. It helped me understand a little better how autistic children think and why they act like they do. I will be more patient with them, knowing that they really don't understand our social behaviors. "

" Wonderful in a confusing sort of way. "

" Anything but Typical is an inspiring book about overcoming differences and accepting others. This lesson is taught through a teenager with autism named Jason. A very good book for everyone and anyone. "

" This was an awesome story of a boy who is mentally handicapped. It was really really sad about what he had to go through and I could actually watch the book as if it was a movie when I read it. I'm a very picky reader but this was actually a really good book. I TOTALLY RECOMMEND IT!!!! "

" This is a really good book about the mind of an autistic twelve year old. I loved seeing into the his mind, considering that I know a good many autistic children. Really awesome! "

" Lovely, heartbreaking. Reminds me some of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night in its subject matter and unsentimental treatment of autism. "

" Great book for Middle School kids. "

" I adored this book, by probably the tenth page. Despite how simple it is to read, it's got a lot to think about. I think by the time I was finished, my roommate was sick of my shoving it under his nose and pointing to a passage. "

" I loved this YA book and recommend it to one and all - it is told from the first person voice of an autistic 12 year old who writes stories and although it is fiction, the reality of his behavior and thought is amazing. Should be on every school list as a must-read. "

" a great book that every one should read "
