Alex is unusual and not JUST because a meteorite fell on his head and he survived! He tells this story so we see everything from his perspective, and you end up firmly on his side against the world. He has an unusual mother too, and his life is far from normal. One of his best friends, Mr Peterson, is a much older man who he meets up with through an unfortunate misunderstanding. When he gets a debilitating disease, Alex undertakes to help him die humanely. There is much to enjoy in this book - and much to think about.
Who would enjoy this? I highly recommend this to anyone who likes a story that is quirky, intriguing and makes you think about stuff - all sorts of stuff!
