Despite his overwhelming fear of interacting with people, Christopher, a mathematically-gifted, autistic fifteen-year-old boy, decides to investigate the murder of a neighbor's dog and uncovers secret information about his mother.
I was surprised at how upsetting this book was - not because of the narrator’s perspective and logic, but because of how awful most of the people around him were. And of course no one is perfect, but… i hate that i still have to be grateful that his parents love him and want him. I want so much more for him.
This is a story about the weirdness of the world as understood by Christopher John Francis Boone, a boy with autism who lives with his father in a small town in the UK. Christopher and his idiosyncrasies are instantly lovable. Through the eyes of a boy who thinks of everyone as different from himself, we’re reminded just how many common threads bind us all together.

Do you know what it's like to be Asperger's? Through this reading you can open the door to the concept. I cannot judge whether the portrait is good; in any case, it is still an introduction. But beware, it's a novel. Simple, but at the same time profound, it does not convey anger, but detects it and visualizes it through a rogue immersed in a world that neither understands nor understands it, but is used so that we can begin that understanding.
Great story. Really gets inside the head of this fictional autistic child. I can't believe how much I related to how he thinks.
