Many people loved this book and wrote good reviews, so if you start reading and maybe the first 46 pages dont quiet make you fall in love with the book, just keep going. It gets even better. Earwig, is simple minded due to an illness not a birth defect. He behaves in many ways like a downs syndrome person, in that he was literal, and direct about things. For instance when he thinks that others at a memorial funeral have forgotten why they are all there, he stands up and SAYS ____ is Dead, .... We are hear to remember him. Earwig often speaks his mind. But by the author doing that she speaks some real truths that a person not simple minded would just sound preachy saying. A great author can do that. This is a great author. Read on my dear friends read on.
