  • 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.

  • Original

  • It's very interesting and really fast paced. The author has worked with autistic children for quite a while so he had all the material and inspiration to write this story and make it one of a kind. Brilliant work!

    A great read! This is the story of a boy with form of autism and how his mind works and deals with the emotional issues that are dealt to him. The story is told from his point of view. It really brings to light that autistic people are not dumb, they are just not able to express themselves like people who are not afflicted by autism. It is a good story and it has a happy ending.

  • Told from the viewpoint of an autistic child. Recommended to me by a friend & colleague whose child is autistic. Sometimes funny, very endearing story.

  • Since I work with clients with developmental disablities, this book was especially interesting for me to see the details of every day life from the perspective of someone with Autism. It was written very well even though the writer does not have Autism, as far as I know.

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. [예스24 제공]
