There's some combination of Temple Grandin's life story mixed with Forrest Gump and the story of Genie (the feral child discovered in the 70s) happening that doesn't quite mix correctly.
I wanted this book to be better, and at times it was good. In fact, the first chapter was good. But as the book progressed, it either had too much going on or there were too many balls flying in from left field and I could not get a sense of what direction the book wanted to go in. I think it lost me for good shortly after the professor tried to make a business proposal with the main character.
I tried. The writing was unique and the premise was different enough from most other books that it really had potential to be wonderful. Maybe I'll try again in a few years but right now, it just did not resonate with me.
