The protagonist is a 15-year old English boy who has the Rain Man-type syndrome called Asperger's - a high functioning form of autism. This mathematical genius seems to be the only beacon of sanity amidst a tumultuous sea of messed up humanity. He weathers the storms of his parents' broken relationship and immorality, as well the plethora of other average joes whose inappropriate impositions and never-ending f-bombs he painfully tolerates.

Like a catchy pop tune you can't stop humming, the author skillfully draws the reader into this quirky world described in the first person, in which almost every statement begins with "and, then, or but."

From the moment Christopher discovers his neighbor's murdered dog, Wellington, in the yard one night and describes his sadness with simple face drawings, readers will find themselves relating to his deep loneliness and naive offense at the injustice he sees around him.

And then you get fed the world view. What a brilliant ruse the author composes to indoctrinate the multitudes into the lie of atheism. Like a song on the radio that sounds so sweet and pure, then inevitably pours in its deadly dose of secular poison at the last, you won't be able to get this book out of your head.
