Guest guest Posted May 3, 2003 Report Share Posted May 3, 2003 I'm only on page 35. Got it this afternoon at the library and have been glued to it since. Like , I read very quickly so it will be completed soon. So far I find it addictive to the max. One of the most fascinating things I have found so far is the idea of the lost generation: those people who are too old to benefit from a cure. Somehow, I never thought about this, but it has happened again and again as we find a " cure " for something. How would it have felt to be a polio victim who got it 6 mos. before the vaccine? Or any one of the other things we have found a " cure " for in the modern age? Wouldn't it have been awful? The interesting thing here is that this " cure " for autism would change everything about the autistic person, the good, the bad, the ugly. It would change the brain, the way he thinks. I may change my mind as I read, but I don't want him to be " cured " . I like this Lou (as opposed to Salli's Lou) the way he is and I think he likes himself,too. JMHO Leggs PS Interestingly enough, I was unable to find this book in the Adult New Materials at the library(all were checked out), but it WAs in the Young Adult New Materials section. Looks like it's never been checked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2003 Report Share Posted May 4, 2003 I have my copy on order from the library. It was available at another location so I'm sure I'll be hearing from them soon. I feel so " out of the loop " with everyone reading it but me.
