H

I just finished the book "H". I'm not sure what I think about it...

It was a very quick read (I started it late last night and have already finished). The story follows a young boy who appears to have autistic tendencies and relatively severe emotional/psychological issues through a trip to summer camp and to a psychiatric hospital. I say "story" but really the book is full of letters from this young man to his imaginary "friend" (and his "friend's'" letters back), letters from his mother and his doctors.

There was no real ending...books like that tend to disturb me. I hate being left with unanswered questions...much like why I hated The Abstinence Teacher.
