Haddon's debut novel, at first glance, seems to be a murder mystery revolving around a dead dog and a would-be Sherlock Holmes named Christopher, a 15-year-old boy with autism. In order to learn who killed the neighbor's dog, Christopher uncovers the truth about goings-on in his own life. Told from Christopher's perspective, the narration is charming, clever and fascinating - beware of random mathematical equations! Is there a rating above "Highly Recommended"?
