Christopher dislikes the colors yellow and brown, can't stand crowds, and hates being touched. He's a mathematical genius and, to calm himself, raises 2 to the power of 35. He loves puzzles, formulas, and scientific facts. He vaguely resembles the boy from Jonathan Safran Foer's novel 'Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close.' Mark Haddon gives us a natural and vivid picture of the world through the eyes of an autistic person.

What does the dog murder have to do with it? That's where it all started. Christopher's investigation will change his whole life, and not only his.

The novel is sure to make you think and leave a mark.
