    Very unique Point of View

    Darth Indurate

    The fifteen year old narrator of this book, Christopher Boone, is autistic. One night, he discovers the neighbour's dog dead, a pitchfork lodged in its chest. From that moment on, Christopher is determined to find the dog's killer, but along the way, we, the readers, get to enjoy a fascinating look into the mind of this wonderful young man. He has very peculiar habits (he dislikes everything yellow & brown, hates to be touched, and never lies) but loves math, and is able to resolve complex and almost impossible mathematical problems. However, his journey to find the dog's killer takes him out of his comfort zone, and clearly on the path to some of the sad truths about his life.
    I really got involved with this novel, and read it every second I could spare it. But not only is Christopher fascinating, so too are his desperate father who clearly is doing his best to keep things together after losing Christopher's mom, and the many 'strangers' Christopher meets while en route to the killer's identity. While the boy may think this is a murder mystery novel, it is a novel of discovery, truth and reality all rolled into one. Brilliant.

    I couldn't put this book down. It really gets you into the mindset of an autistic person, and helps you understand why they do and say the things they do. I loved it.

    Beyond the Spectrum

    Christian Duran

    4 months ago

    Mark Haddon did an excellent job of writing this compelling story featuring the autistic protagonist on the bumpy road to independence. A strong sense of mystery was incorporated regarding the murder of Wellington along with the ongoing adventure, struggles, and coming of age of Christopher John Francis Boone. The difficulties and experiences of living with autism spectrum disorder (Asperger's syndrome) are highlighted through Christopher's point of view. This gives the reader an interesting, uncommonly experienced perception of the world through new eyes.

    I strongly recommend this book to anyone looking for a unique, quick read filled with mystery and comic relief.

    I hadn't read a book in about three months so when i picked up this one i was a bit skeptical at first. But as soon as i got reading i was drawn in and honestly could not put the book down. The book is totally different from other books (being from the perspective of an autistic child) and i think thats what makes it so good. I think Mark Haddon's book is full of imaginiation and its absolutley refreshing to read something such as this. Read it you will love it.
