[Recommended] "How Evan Broke His Head, and other secrets" by Garth Stein

I wrote about this in another thread, not realizing that it belongs here...

I just finished this book and although it's not really about E, the main character has epilepsy, and in the course of the story, the reader sees what it's like for this particular guy, and how he deals with it. I like the book a lot, but aside from that, while reading it, I realized what a good way this is to educate the public. I don't remember ever coming across this in a novel before. I hope everyone in the world reads it and I'm very interested to hear what others think of the way E is treated. Anyone else read it?
