Of course it's brilliant; my big brother wrote it. But even if it hadn't been created by my big, lumbering, swearing, unshaven "early man" sibling, this is as sweet and funny and sad and true and heartfelt a memoir as one could find, utterly unspoiled, uninfluenced, and original.
Augusten Burroughs, author of Running With Scissors
... thoughtful and thoroughly memorable
Publishers Weekly
John Robison's book is an immensely affecting account of a life lived according to his gifts rather than his limitations
Daniel Tammet, author of Born on A Blue Day
Affecting, on occasion surprisingly comic memoir about growing up with Asperger's syndrome
Kirkus Reviews
Powerful its descriptive accuracy and engaging in its understated humour . . . emotionally gripping
Chicago Tribune
A fantastic life story . . . told with grace, humor, and a bracing lack of sentimentality.
Entertainment Weekly
Deeply felt and often darkly funny, Look Me in the Eye is a delight.
