This is Christopher's murder mystery story. There are no lies in this story because Christopher can't tell lies. christopher does not like strangers or the colours yellow or brown or being touched. On the other hand, he knows all the countries in the world and their capital cities and every prime number up to 7507. When Christohper decides to find out who killed the neighbour's dog, his mystery story becomes more complicated than he could ever have predicted.

This really should have been a DNF for me...

This is not a mystery book like I was lead to believe. The murderer of the dog confesses it about halfway through the book. I really enjoyed seeing everything through Christoper's eyes and how the world relates to him. However, after the reveal, it turns into a family drama. It completely lost me at that point. Due to the way it is written, I was not able to connect to the situations or issues and it just fell flat at that point.

I gave it 2 stars because I did genuinely enjoy the first half of the book.

Do you know what it's like to be Asperger's? Through this reading you can open the door to the concept. I cannot judge whether the portrait is good; in any case, it is still an introduction. But beware, it's a novel. Simple, but at the same time profound, it does not convey anger, but detects it and visualizes it through a rogue immersed in a world that neither understands nor understands it, but is used so that we can begin that understanding.
