Memoirs of an Imaginary Friend: A Novel

Wonderful book. Funny, heartwarming, thoughtprovoking. One of the best books I've read in a long time. While I realize some of the situations may be "farfetched", I say "Remember, it's fiction" So enjoy it and whats wrong with believing in something "a little out there" every once in a while!

Inventive, funny, sad, engaging. I can't say how much I enjoyed reading this book except to tell you that I have recommeded it to all of my reading friends. Sit back, kick back and enjoy this tale of love.

Due to the nature of the main characterst cking with inwas worth sti, the author writes in very short choppy sentences and this made it very frustrating to read and somewhat difficult to get into. It was worth sticking to it though; the book progreesed well and the ending was just as it should have been.

My short review: wonderful book written with love about children and adults.
While I was reading this book I constantly caught myself thinking about how the characters in the book made me feel: warm and cosy inside, they made my heart smile.

The story had so much potential because it was such an original idea and that's why I decided to read Memoirs of an Imaginary Friend. It's the story of Budo, the imaginary friend and Max, the autistic boy who made him up.
The story was interesting and in some parts of the book, it was intriguing. However it was extremely repetitive. Budo is the narrator and I struggled to read the same comments from him over and over as well as the sections where he recounted his (boring) daily life watching TV with Max's parents and hanging out at a gas station. It's an interesting read but would have benefited greatly from being about half as long.

I absolutely loved this book. Budo is my hero ... I adored him and the way he told the story and protected Max. There were so many levels to the book. It was about love, loyalty, life and death, abduction and autism. The creativity was superb!

A must read anybody and everybody can relate to this story as a parent or as once a child themselves. This read will tap all of your emotions and the words will put you in the shoes of all the characters at one point. You won't be able to put this one down.

Matthew Green writes a emotional journey of love, sacrifice and satisfaction. He weaves hidden details through every scene which leads up to its final scenes.

This book asks the question to Budo of how far he is willing to go to save his friend in a touching story that left me feeling joyous, proud and with a sense of wonder.

Very interesting and good story. The ending kept you on your toes in anticipation. A real thought provoking story about the positives we all have, but how some people just bring out the best in us when they are so accepting of our differences.

The story has fine details to encourage your own imagination. Gives hope, understanding, satisfaction, and laughter, I found myself hesitating to taking the time to read it. I didn't want the story to end. it was like every page into the book i was that much closer the end of great friendship. knowing that the friendship had to come to an end or it be worth telling.

Have a child with autism, learning disabilities, or just a great imagination! Told well, written ok, enjoyed at book club because it wasn't the regular pick...different and eye opening
A better teen read, but easy and quick for an afternoon fix

This is a lovely creative book, that challenges your imagination, and allows you a peek into what is is to have an imaginary friend. It's written in a style that lures you in and keeps you spellbound. A great read!
