     This book is a first point of view of a fifteen year old autistic boy named Christopher Francis Boone. He does not like the color yellow and reuses to eat any type of yellow food. He know all the prime numbers up to seven thousand fifty seven. He lives with his father because his mother passed away. One night he saw his neighbors dog with a pitch fork through him dead in their front yard. He decides to investigate the murder mystery to reveal some of his own secrets. This book made me even more interested in mystery novels.

     This is book is filled with all kinds of mystery's. The biggest mystery of the book is the murderer of the book. Even though the mystery is solved in the middle book you want to keep reading for the rest of the unanswered questions. What really keeps the story going is all the internal and external conflicts.

     I honestly enjoyed this book and didn't mind picking it up at anytime. The only thing I disliked about the book was when the author would get off track of the story. Other than those parts over all it was an amazing book and I would read it again. I would also defiantly read other parts of this authors work. I feel strongly to suggest this to middle schoolers and to adults because I think they would be interested into the book.

     This is a book you can never put down. It has many surprising parts that many readers would enjoy. It makes you see life in a different view. The view being a autistic boy. It'd s heart filling book and you will never get bored of it. I recommend it to everyone.
