Review of 'The speed of dark' on 'Goodreads'

I was not impressed.
The firs person hero is too well adjusted. He is autistic but so well trained he hardly makes any social mistakes.
He does freeze when under pressure but he is almost perfectly trained to act properly in social circumstances.
Some of his coworkers are more damaged, but our protagonist is too perfect.
The problem is that half the book is made up of someone saying something and then Lew explaining how he things it means one thing but he's been taught it actually means another.
It never stops!
The villains are the worst, I would be ashamed to portray such characters in children's cartoons.
