I enjoyed this book enough to finish it but not enough to keep it. I found the main character's personality and his autism fascinating and really felt for him. The problem I had was the fair amount of swearing in the book and his attachment to math. I find both nearly equally painful :).
Even minor characters were pretty well drawn by means of dialog and I was really cheering for the boy in each predicament he fell into. The humor is a bit of a relief from his dry math oriented viewpoint. Overall he felt realistic and someone I could care about.

Fascinating, moving, and completely compelling, this is the story of a young "detective" with Asperger's Syndrome who has to find out the truth about a neighbor's murdered pooch. The inclusion of charts, graphs, etc. really adds to the conceit (the story is written from the teenager's POV).

Follow Christopher, a young autistic boy, as he attempts to solve the murder of the neighbor's dog. To do so, he must interperet clues in a world which he views from a very different perspective than anyone else he meets.

Note that this was bought in London and may be a bit different than the true U.S. version available here. (Believe it or not, British books are almost always "translated" into American English.)

I liked the title of this book better than I liked the book.

I really enjoyed this book, the point of view of the narrator is very enlightening. It was a great book!

Interesting. I'll never look at autism in the same way!

Very different!
