    • I got outraged, I got overjoyed, I laughed, and I probably would have cried if it were socially acceptable for boys to do so while reading a book in public.

      Written in a very unique style, told from the perspective of a young autistic boy determined to solve the mystery of a murdered dog. The dog-murder is merely a red herring, a way to examine this boy's life and how he deals with the world around him. An interesting idea and and intriguing read... at first. But the rambling "inner thoughts" style becomes exhausting by the end of the book, and the ending felt extremely rushed. There were 5 or 6 pages left and the book didn't feel as if it was building towards a conclusion. And then it was just over. Wrapped up clumsily in a couple pages.

    • Unique, quick read
    • An easy and enjoyable read about the experiences of a teenage boy with Asperger's (a form of autism) and his attempt to unravel the mysterious death of his neighbor's dog, making many discoveries on the way.

    • This book was hard to read, especially in the short bursts I had available. It moved a little slowly and made me feel a bit like the narrator as I read the flow of his thoughts. I realized that stylized first person narration is not for me.

Book Description

Christopher John Francis Boone knows all the countries of the world and their capitals and every prime number up to 7,057. He relates well to animals but has no understanding of human emotions. He cannot stand to be touched. And he detests the color yellow.

This improbable story of Christopher’s quest to investigate the suspicious death of a neighborhood dog makes for one of the most captivating, unusual, and widely heralded novels in recent years.
