this book has a really unique perspective. That's honestly the only reason to read this book. a special function of literature is exposing us to different experiences and perspectives. you are fully immersed into the mind of a "autistic" boy. If this is a authentic representation of a persons thought process with autism (and I have no reason to think otherwise) it is worth reading. there is a bit of a Agathean/Sherlock mystery here. but a more interesting personal family drama lays underneath. If personal dramas are your thing than take a look at this one if no other reason than it's told in a unique voice. The narrative was a little frustrating at times. I can't say it was an enjoyable read. but I did learn a lesson. I saw myself reflected in the people that Christopher interacted with. to that end I am resolved to be a little more patient with others especially at work. how long I will apply that lesson is the question.
