Thoughts about "From Charlie's Point of View"

This week we read "From Charlie's Point of View" by Richard Scrimger. Overall, I really enjoyed this book. I liked the progression of the characters and how the three main character's - Charlie, Bernadette, and Lewis - were equally and similairly developed.

I think that this book would be a good one to use in future years; however, I feel that it would be equally beneficial to read a book about a person who has a different disability. A few of the books about Autism that Valerie brought to class seemed very interesting and it would be a unique read. Personally, I've never been exposed to a young adult book that deals with a topic such as Autism.

My favorite thing about reading "From Charlie's Point of View" was all the questions that it raised. Everyone in my discussion group brought a different question and it was exciting to see how people read and view texts in comparison to my own view point.

Thanks for reading :)
