Let me start this blog off by stating that I personally would not recommend this book to anyone. Dont't get me wrong this book had times when it seemed that it was going to get more interesting but then there were always these mini chapters, basically a paragraph long that would just mean absolutely nothing to the book. Or maybe it did have something to do with the book and I just wasn't looking deep enough into the book for the answer. Either way this book never really got me to be so interested in it that I just wanted to keep reading on to the next chapter.
I mean lets be honest here, there are not many high schoolers that are going to be interested in a book that is written from the point of view from a kid who has aspergers. I am not trying to be mean but a book written like a fifth grader is writting it is not going to interest me especially when a sub plot of the book is about Chris trying to find out who killed a dog. No offense but I know I don't want to learn or read about a kid searching for who killed a dog he liked to pet every now and then.
I did however like the fact that Chris had to over come his own disability of aspergers to solve some things in his life. Like finding the murder of wellington or trying to find out about his mom and where she is or if she is dead or alive. Also how all of his misunderstandings would be funny to us readers and how his understandings would seem strange to us readers. Probably the best part of the book was Chris's ability to create a metaphor for just about any situation he was involved with. If a "normal" human were looking for all these things then they might of gave up during certain times during the book, but chris's inabilitly to understand emotion helped him to carry on with his searches.
