Our opinion about 35 00:04:09,180 --> 00:04:18,180 The best thing about this book is that it is a very interesting book, but starting from the book, for all the class, it has been a very good book. 36 00:04:18,180 --> 00:04:23,180 It is a very interesting book and we have learned a lot of things. 37 00:04:23,180 --> 00:04:32,180 It is so different from other books because the chapters are written in numbers. 38 00:04:32,180 --> 00:04:39,379 a different type of novel that we read and there are some mathematical equations. 39 00:04:40,100 --> 00:04:46,339 This book is very interesting because it shows us how other people might and can think, it shows us 40 00:04:46,339 --> 00:04:54,660 that people with autism must be treated the same as you and me and it also shows that everybody is 41 00:04:54,660 --> 00:05:01,220 the same.
