Interpretation To Books Eye Contact

Adam, a nine-year-old autistic boy, is discovered hiding near to the body of his murdered classmate. Now the police are relying on Adam as the only witness to an appalling crime. But he can't tell the police what he saw—or what he heard. Barely verbal on the best of days, Adam has retreated into a silent world that Cara, his mother, knows only too well.

A young girl has been murdered and the only witness is a child who cannot tell what he saw.

In the woods of a small town, Adam, a nine-year-old autistic boy, is discovered hiding near to the body of his classmate. They both wandered off from the school playground several hours earlier, and now the police are relying on Adam as the only witness to an appalling crime. But he can't tell the police what he saw—or what he heard. Barely verbal on the best of days, Adam has retreated into a silent world that Cara, his mother, knows only too well.

With her community in shock and her son unable to help with the police investigation, Cara tries to decode the puzzling events. Adam has never broken the rules before, so why did he disappear with the little girl during recess? As a single mother, Cara has devoted her life to opening paths of communication between her son and the outside world. Now, she must interpret the changes in Adam's behavior not only to help him through the trauma, but to help the police catch a killer. Cammie McGovern brings her own experience as the mother of an autistic child to articulate the struggles—and the victories—that consume the lives of parents raising children with special needs. A powerful story of the tangled emotional bond between mother and son, and a thrilling novel of psychological suspense, Eye Contact won't let you go. Lovers of Mystic River will be captivated by this fresh and fascinating journey into the world of a child in crisis and a mother who longs to bring him through unscathed.

Appraise About Books Eye Contact

This was one of the best books I have read this year! I literally could not put it down! Well, really, I put it down twice because, much to my chagrin, I had to go to bed. Aside from that, it never left my hands! The narration of this book is what makes it so interesting; it is told from several different characters points of view and they all seem to have something to hide. I found it very interesting to read the narration told from Adams P.O.V., as a nine year old autistic child. This story

I have no clue why I wasted my time and finished this book. It was all over the place and I was almost to the point where I don't even think the author knew who the killer was going to be until the last second. The book just did not fit for me. It was like a stew was mixed together and whatever was in the fridge was added to the story.

It was all right, but kind of frustrating. I had pretty significant issues with the plot. Her knowledge of autism and ability to incorporate that into fiction is excellent, and her writing for Adam is the highlight of the book by far. The book is interesting and emotional and creepy at times.I also appreciate the "strain of being a caregiver" theme that is present throughout the book through Cara, Suzette, Teddy, Kevin's mom, Morgan's mom, Olivia, Chris's mom, Harrison's mom, even Cara's parents

When I read the back of the book I was really interested. I was still interested when I started it but as I went on it was just getting harder to enjoy. First let me begin by saying I hated that there weren't really any chapters. There are multiple points of view from different characters and at times it was hard to keep track of who was speaking because it wasn't broken up by chapters. There would be one point of view that would go on and then all of a sudden it switches to someone else and it

This literary mystery feels like a cross between Jennifer McMahon's _I Promise Not to Tell_ and Mark Haddon's _Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time._ It is a compelling look at autism, both from the child's and the parent's perspective. Adam, a 9 year old austic boy finds himself witness to a murder. While the novel is about the mystery of the murder, it is more about the relationship of Adam and Cara, his mother. The story is told from several people's perspectives. While some ring

This book had the potential to be really great. The first half of the book was fantastic. The second half was not as good, although it was decent. I hated the "grown-up" Kevin and his mother... they pretty much ruined the greatness of the book. The trick Kevin and Suzette played on Cara was immature and ridiculous... I would hope most adults wouldn't come up with a plan like this.Some of the events in the second half were too unrealistic... what kind of adult would lure two elementary school

Very intriguing story, however the author's style can be quite exhausting. Very long chapters and a lot of jumping around between characters and thoughts that I found myself having to reread some parts to make sure I was still following along. 3/5
