About this book
Description
Christopher John Francis Boone knows all the countries of the world and their capitals and every primary number up to 7057. he relates well to animals but has no understanding of human emotions. He cannot stand to be touched. And he detests the color yellow. Although gifted wit a superbly logical brain, fifteen-year-old Christopher is autistic and everyday interactions and admonishments have little meaning for him. He lives on patterns, rules and diagram kept in his pocket. Then one day, a neighbor's dog, Wellington, is killed and his carefully constructed universe is threatened. Christopher sets out to solve the murder in the style of his favorite (logical) detective, Sherlock Holmes. What follows makes for a novel that deeply funny, poignant, and fascinating in its portrayal of a person whose curse and blessing are a mind that perceives the world entirely literally.
Tidy condition.
