I liked this book. I liked it a lot. I loved that it was from the point of view of an autistic teenage boy, Christopher. I hang out with a few of autistic young men on occasion and Haddon ' s portrayal was spot on. And the care givers for Christopher: Mother, Father, Siobhan...yup. They were true.

All that said I just didn't get emotionally moved by this book. Liked it a lot (except the swearing) but like is pointed out in the review I love given for this by Brad, this book shows that you can take real life and write a story about it that is interesting. And it was. But also like real life, it is messy and has not come to closure and so I was a 3 star book for me.
