For me, I would start by rating this piece with a 4-star over 5. I'm systematically attracted to such write-ups!
It was well organised and intuitive. Would love to get more of this.

A shortcut to an ancient world to get advise from Aristotle! Anyone know where the shortcut to Pythagoras is, that's the one I want. Sounds like a great book, thanks for the great review.

Thanks for the review. Autism is something that is becoming more aware to society, but it is still a very unknown disease. It is good to know that people are writing about it more. I am glad that you were able to rate it 4 stars.

Thanks for sharing your review. This book sounds really good I'm glad I was able to get a copy. I think it'll be interesting to read a story from a Non-Verbal Author as you mentioned.

Love your review and looking forward to reading this book! I had a dream about a trap door in the pool at my Grandmother's once. That's interesting.

This sounds like a great novel. It seems like a great way to educate readers a bit on Autism. You do a magnificent job of describing the book. Thank you for sharing.

I'm impressed that the author has autism and seems to have written an interesting and fantastical story. Thanks for your insight on the book!

It's really disheartening that many people fail to understand what autism is and in the process, don't understand autistic people. Learning from the reviewer that this book was written by an author, who himself is autistic melts my heart.

Little do some people know that autistic people have much more something between their ears than normal ones have.

The review is enlightening as the book itself. It opens the reader's mind that there are many possibilities for growth and learning for an autistic person.

My lord, this book sounds so sweet as well as thought-provoking. I would love to see into Philip's Ancient Greek world and gain a better understanding of him and autism overall. Thank you for the insightful review, and I'm especially encouraged to read this because the author has autism and you taught children with autism; at least that way I can better count on the depiction being accurate.

Thanks for the great review. I look forward to reading this book. I have worked with adults with disabilities including a couple with autism. I think it is great that the author was able to write a story so that others can know what the world is like through his perspective.
