I loved this book. It wasn't what I expected ( I hadn't read a description) but it was simply delightful! Kind of left me believing in imaginary friends

Budo, you judgmental, ineffectual prick.

An Asperger syndrome boy is kidnapped and the only person who can save him is Budo, his imaginary friend. But Budo can't physically affect the real world.

This book combines a bit of [bc:Room|7937843|Room|Emma Donoghue|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1344265419s/7937843.jpg|9585076] with a bit of [bc:The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time|1618|The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time|Mark Haddon|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1327882682s/1618.jpg|4259809]. But it has perhaps more heart than either of those.

Tohle bylo vážně skvělé! Neskutečně dojemná, laskavá a napínavá kniha. Chci svého vlastního Buda a nebo Osvalda :)

Me pareció un libro con una idea muy original y con una trama interesante y sobre todo, casi desde la mitad de libro, de mucha intriga y suspenso; sin embargo hubo algunas cosas que no me acabaron de cuadrar en el aspecto "realista" de la historia, me pareció que hubo algunos huecos, pero es una muy linda historia que nos ayuda a reflexionar acerca de los niños que tienen algún tipo de discapacidad del aprendizaje.
