    About this audiobook

    In Episodes, Blaze Ginsberg offers a unique view into his mind and life as a high functioning autistic teenager. Inspired by the format of the Internet Movie Database, Ginsberg organizes the events in his life as a collection of “episodes.” Some of these are ongoing (like Thanksgiving dinners with his family), some are in syndication, and some (his crush on Hillary Duff, for example) have sadly come to an end. Using a style and a language all his own, Blaze reinvents the traditional memoir for listeners of all ages.

      I had a hard time with the format so I didn't finish the book.

      In Episodes: My Life As I See It, Blaze Ginsberg, a highly functional autistic teen recounts life from his freshman year at Surrey School (for children who do not thrive in public school) at age 15 through the beginning of college at age 21. In the book’s introduction, his mother, who authored Raising Blaze about him, states that Blaze has taken some important events of his life and made them into several TV series with himself as the recurring character. The series concentrate on school, holidays and work. Blaze has obsessions, primarily with Hilary Duff, recycling trucks, buses and getting a girlfriend and he writes plainly about them as well as his resistance to change, difficulties with teachers and with several jobs. He evaluates girls as potential girlfriends, immediately asking for their phone numbers. Many do not return his phone calls. If he dislikes something, he banishes it for years. He comments on school buses that he likes and dislikes.Each series has a cast listing and each episode has a summary, notes, soundtrack listing (some of which are obscure), goofs, and quotes. The format is unique and suits the story. While the book gives readers a sense of the difficulties that Blaze faces and his achievements are admirable, the story and writing are not compelling. There is much repetition and many of the situations are not interesting. Episodes is a good telescope into the life of an autistic teen and is worthwhile from that perspective. However, it will be a hard sell for discretionary reading.
