Christopher Boone is a unique youth who is struggling in autism. Every day is new to him because there are numerous things around him that he does not get. One day Christopher finds a dog next door named Wellington murdered. Christopher is different than all the other people. He is horrified by certain colours or certain level of noise and He is unable to read how other people feels about him. He hates being touched, and he does not understand the feelings that other people get. His autism causes him to have a temporary shock if he is affected by something. Not only his autism is a disadvantage to him, he also get a huge benefit from autism. He is extraordinary in math problems and his ability to think is endless.

In this novel, there are numerous interesting events. First, while Christopher tries to find out how Wellington got murdered, It shows how Christopher interacts the environment around him and how he interacts with nature around him. Secondly, this book is written in Christopher’s point of view. This makes it much more interesting and shows the uniqueness of this book. Lastly, the love from Christopher’s dad made this book into a better quality.

The story takes place on a scene where christopher finds the murder of a poodle named Wellington. Christopher then decides to find out who murdered Wellington. Because of his autism, he avoids accepting a fact from others. However he still gets help from his school teacher, Siobhan

Christopher’s dad wants to stop his son from going further with his investigation. Christopher’s dad is simply caring and loving his son. However on christopher’s mind, he does not understand what the word love means. On his investigation, he finds a true fact about his mother’s death and he finds out the murderer of the poodle.

One thing that this book will shock the reader is that during the novel, there are numerous math equations, patterns, or about what christopher is thinking. For some people, his thinking may not be interesting. However for Christopher, these thoughts are one factor that makes up his life or what he is interested in. Even though his thoughts might not be interesting, I believe that we should still be interested on sharing his thoughts. By reading this book, I understood how the people autism feel about the environment around the world and this book really stirred my mind.
