Due to my reignited passion for reading, I looked for a book to read and found a review about this one.
On book caught my attention as the main character is mentally challenged.
Christopher Boone has Asperger's Syndrome, a type of autism, and is very logical and usually do things by Math. The book is presented as the result of Christopher's school project and tackles his adventure when he decided to investigate the murder of his neighbor's dog. Little did the main character knew (as I have) that this will lead to his discovery of things that is far from, yet, the reason for the dog's murder.
It is quite interesting to see how an autistic boy thinks and reacts to his surrounding (of course, base on the author's understanding of autism). I loved how he usually solve problems by relating to math and logical conclusion (as I'm a math lover myself :D).
A very good read (first book, I think, that I have finished in two day's time) and I had very hard time putting this book down to do something else. The turn of events of the story surprised me as I was not expecting the way the story unfold.
