"Life, Animated is the author's amazing memoir of his family's
20-year, struggle to connect with their autistic son. This is the
book that readers who have no one in their lives affected by autism
and who would otherwise never it pick up should definitely read.
Eyes will tear. Hearts will cheer. In these pages, Owen is every
reader's son."--Don Oldenburg, USA Today
"Mr. Suskind displays virtuosity in capturing the intimate
realities of life in a household dominated by autism, where the
disorder shapes the life of every family member."--Judith Warner,
The New York Times
"Ron Suskind's "Life, Animated" is an extraordinary saga of an
exceptional boy from a remarkable family and their compelling
journey through autism."--David Royko, Chicago Tribune
Reading Suskind's factual yet moving account of the devotion, love
and energy put into helping Owen will leave readers wondering if
they could do the same. This is a wonderful book, whether or not
you know a person with autism.--Amanda St. Amand, St. Louis Post
Dispatch
The book by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Ron Suskind is a
fierce love story. It is also one of those fascinating medical
stories that show doctors have no monopoly on knowledge.--Mark
Johnson, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
