She is logical, scientific, distant from her peers, and very, very organized and clean. There is, however, nothing disorderly about Emma-Jean. Rather, I thought of the phrase "spectrum disorder" when I tried to make sense of Emma-Jean. I also knew that Emma-Jean doesn't use contractions when she speaks, and that I might be tempted to compare the book to THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME, by Mark Haddon.Įxcept I didn't think of Haddon's book, exactly. (see below) Based on what I found, I knew I was in for a story with two distinct voices, a tight plot line, and a unique style. I checked out some of the buzz about this book before I read it.
