to read it because I was worried that it was not going to live up to the reviews. It was not merely ‘good’, it was phenomenal. I would even go as far to say that it is a stroke of pure genius. Its about a boy named Christopher who finds his neighbour’s dog dead in their garden. The story is made interesting because Christopher has Asperger’s and doesn’t understand people that well, and it gives a new perspective that makes this so unique. I would recommend it to anyone from age eleven up, and most people will enjoy it way into adulthood as it is not just a children’s book.
