Helpful Score: 3

If you're anticipating a mystery novel, this book will leave you high and dry well before the half-way mark. This is a very interesting book, to say the least, but it has more to do with psychology and looking at the world through new eyes than it does anything to do with a murder mystery. The main character is autistic, but a mathematical genius whose life takes a dramatic turn when a neighborhood dog turns up dead. There's a new digression at every turn, seemingly, and all though they're all on very interesting subjects--quirky, little-known scientific theories, or what a perfect world would be like for an autistic individual, for instance--it does get a little tedious when you're waiting for the story line to develope. All in all, I'd say just a good read; not a great read.
