    "Upbeat and yet..."
    Would you consider the audio edition of Look Me in the Eye to be better than the print version?

    Listening to the story was upbeat and yet covered a serious subject and John told about his life effected by Aspergers. After reading his brother's book a was a bit concerned it might be to extreme but it really helps define Aspergers and how one can have a happy life. As I couldn't help laughing at many parts in the book. Loved listening to the story!


    What did you like best about this story?

    The funny vignettes into John's life.


    What about Mark Deakins’s performance did you like?

    Mark's voice was pleasing and helped lend to the emotion of the story.


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    I would have loved to listen in one sitting but I never have the amount of time. I did turn it on whenever I could!!!!


    Any additional comments?

    I have already recommended this book to friends.

    "Great overview of 'Aspergian' life"
    What did you love best about Look Me in the Eye?

    The direct, straight forward description of the author's experiences as an 'Apergian.'


    What does Mark Deakins bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    Did a great job of using inflection to provide 'feeling' to the written word


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    When he met the therapist and realized he was 'ok' as he is.


    Any additional comments?

    Great book.

    "Moderately interesting glimpse inside Aspberger's"

    Silly me. Reading a book written by someone with Aspbergers would, necessarily, not call for deep reflection or revelation - just the kinds of things I most enjoy about autobiographies. So while I didn't love this, I do think it did a good job of delivering on its promise, and was a laudable effort.

    "What a great and informative book"
    Would you consider the audio edition of Look Me in the Eye to be better than the print version?

    I think they are both great.. The audio version does give it a little more voice.


    What does Mark Deakins bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    The inflection in his voice really helped you identify with the author. I have heard interviews with the author and Mark did a great job capturing Mr. Robison words.


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    This book really allows the reader into e complicated mind of aspergians. I really felt like I had a better understanding of the unique mind of a person with aspergers.


    Any additional comments?

    Buy this book. Read it and you will also want to share it.

    Story
    "Asperger's A LIfe"
    Where does Look Me in the Eye rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

    I really enjoyed this book. I've read it quite a few times.


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Look Me in the Eye?

    I love listening to John's time with KISS and some of his other adventures. It is always an experience for someone with Asperger's to listen to someone else with Asperger's and say "Yeah, I'm not so weird!"


    What about Mark Deakins’s performance did you like?

    I enjoyed this reader.


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    No. It's easy to put down and pick up.


    Any additional comments?

    If you ever have the chance to go see John speak, you should. His experiences are wonderful and pretty unique.

    I can't finish this book. Despite my love of rock-n-roll, when the book reached this point I lost interest.

    "Slow, cutsey and boring"

    This book wasn't all bad - there are some humorous stories and interesting observations on what it's like to have Asbergers, but on the whole, I found it slow and boring. It's often repetitive, the majority of the stories aren't remarkable at all and author's sense of humor which often tries to be cute or clever, in my opinion, usually fails. Portions of the book are extremely profane, others parts of the book that talk about his family life are depressing without many, or any redeeming qualities.

    "Boring"

    Maybe it gets better but after 2 hours this is one of the most boring books I've listened to in a while. Feel like I wasted a credit on this one...
