    I love to read and read everyday. The problem is I mostly read just before going to bed and have conditioned myself to fall asleep reading. Not the most intelligent thing to do, I know, but it is what it is. As a result, I almost never read a book twice. I would call “100 years of Solitude” my favorite book of all time. I have only read it once about 35 years ago. So the other day I am at the library with my 11 year old daughter and this book is in the young adult section. Now my daughter has a photographic memory and reads more than any child I have ever seen. She is scary smart. I had not read a book to her in many years. I was talking about how much I loved this and she asked me to read it to her. Yeah, I knew there was some inappropriate stuff in it, but I had not read it since it was first released, and my memory is the polar opposite of my daughter’s. So I skipped most the F words, but it was hard to make it PG. Who cares the book is unique, Christopher is one of the greatest fictional characters of my lifetime, and reading it aloud with the Unique emotions of Christopher was a hoot. I would not recommend reading this book to your eleven year old, but I would recommend that you read it. I have not had a wealth of experience with autistic children, but I truly felt that Mark Haddon captured what it is like inside the fascinating mind of an autistic child, almost as well as Temple Grandin was able to do in her first person writings.

    I read an article that this novel was originally intended to be marketed as a Young Adult novel. I’m so glad it wasn’t. I don’t think teenagers would get the nuances and perspective of the novel. They would just think it was poorly written.

    The novel is from the perspective of an autistic 15-year-old boy named Christopher. He speaks and thinks in literal terms; everything to him is factual-based or in black-and-white terms. Of course, he wouldn’t understand the concept of “black and white” because to him they’re just colors; he can’t quite grasp the concept of that phrase because it can’t be taken literally. Details are also very important to him, and everything is mathematical or scientific. He has trouble with emotions, but can recognize when people are happy, sad, or mad.

    The novel opens with Christopher discovering his neighbor’s dog dead on the lawn, stabbed with a gardening fork. He takes it upon himself to discover who killed neighbor’s dog like a modern day Encyclopedia Brown. What follows are his discoveries about the people in his life and his adventures to places and subjects unknown to him. He gets the answers he was seeking, but also gets many more answers than he bargained for.

    I enjoyed the book and the simplistic, yet scientific, manner in which it was written, but got a little tired of it by the end. Thankfully, the book is fairly short for a novel and a quick read.

    Christopher is the only character that is truly fleshed out, but that’s because everything is seen only from his point of view, and he only views people empirically. His “development” throughout the novel is impressive, though, in that significant events change around him, yet he remains the one constant. So while that’s good for the stylistic approach of the novel, it also dampened my interest a bit because I didn’t really get very emotionally invested in the story…much like Christopher.

    This is an excellent read. It really brings to light about how the autistic mind works. I have an autistic son and this illustrated alot of his own abilities. Great read but like with an autistic child, you must be patient and take your time to understand the book and the child as a whole.
