5.0 out of 5 based on 1 reviews. 5 of 5 Stars! – Customer review on 31/01/2007

This is a moving and resonating book which reveals the world of a young boy with autism in the simple language and literal manner of a child. It follows the investigation of a dead dog next door and along the way explains why Christopher reacts the way he does and why he says the things he says. This book will draw you in within a few pages and does not let go for long after. I did not find the simple style in which the book is written to be a hindrance, rather it is an effective and compelling way of expressing the character's feelings and emotions. A superb book and worthy of it's reputation.
