I began this book knowing little about it. I heard from numerous people that it was "funny" and "good", but had no idea what to expect. In all, it was quite an entertaining read. Yes, it is about a boy who tries to find the murderer of a dead dog. You find it out on the 1st page. But it is so much more than that. The main character has Asperger's Syndrome. As someone who works with special needs children, I was able to identify with Christopher. It's an insight to what life might be like for a person with this disorder. He features alot graphs and pitures in the book to explain himself better. I enjoyed this because it added a fun quality to the book. Pick it up if you would like a quick, light and entertaining read.
