"Magically, Mark Haddon presents mental illness not merely as
deeply moving, but funny, and the family's eventual healing is
heart-warming but done without sentimentality. It's all helped by
Alex Jennings' understated narration, as unassuming and ordinary as
George and his family, but, like them, outstanding."
