ikiteahill's review against another edition

adventurous dark lighthearted mysterious medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Loveable characters? It's complicated

2.75

This book had such potential to represent people with a variety of physical and mental differences and it totally flubbed the opportunity. Various conditions such as narcolepsy and amnesia are grossly misrepresented. Some plot points are totally dismissed and made light of at the end

, such as Sticky's parents exploitation of him
