COLIN FISCHER

This coming-of-age story is told in the fresh voice of a 14-year-old boy with Asberger’s syndrome. As he starts high school, Colin faces it all—bullies, teachers, parents, and a kid brother. Some know how to react to him; others, not so much. When something bad happens in school, Colin feels compelled to get to the truth. Jesse Eisenberg barely differentiates supporting characters, but no matter. His tone for Colin is spot-on. Varying between a clipped voice and a monotone, he creates Colin and his world with poignance, insight, and humor. M.B. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2012]
