I enjoyed this book about a highly functional autistic boy who is tempted to sin against God by a Lovecraftian being pretending to be a Christian demon. I especially loved the childhood flashbacks to a simpler time set during the 1970s in rural Tennessee and the very honest and real issues that young people experience during puberty such as first love, betrayal, death of family members and loved ones and wondering if their changing bodies and hormonal drives are normal. I also enjoyed the insight into what it's like to come of age with autism/Asperger's Syndrome. A well-written and often bittersweet tale of a teen-aged boy's coming of age. Jeffrey battles with his pubescent self, with a mind full of doubts, while dealing with his high-functioning autism (Asperger Syndrome) and his ongoing war with the demon. This makes the novel a great insight into the struggles an autistic boy faces. There is a “Catcher-in-the-Rye” feel to this novel by Potts. I would love to read more of his work.
