PositiveThe Houston ChronicleReaders lacking a strong scientific bent might find themselves impatient for Latson to wrap up the wonky stuff and get back to Eli and his mom. But The Boy Who Loved Too Much would be a lesser book without this information, and Latson does a good job of making complex scientific concepts understandable and integrating this material into the personal story ... For the most part her prose is fresh and engaging, her story leavened with humor to take the edge off the ongoing struggle of characters we have come to care about deeply. It would be a mistake to squeeze this book into the 'disease narrative' genre. It transcends that niche, partly through the author's reflections on what our reactions to people with Williams Syndrome have to say about the human condition.
