I listened to this on audiobook and I think that it did an excellent job of telling the story about Christopher from Christopher’s perspective.

I went into this not knowing too much about Asperger’s and I think the story did a really good job with it. Since I don’t know a lot about Aspergers and autism is general I don’t know if it is accurate or not. But the narrator did an excellent job with Christopher and being someone with Aspergers.

I really liked the story. I thought it was super interesting. It’s a lot of math but I get that it’s what he loves and is super good at. I like the idea of him trying to solve this mystery but we are also seeing him grow and do things that scare him. His parents are tough because while I don’t know what it’d be like to have a kid with autism but it irked me how they were.

It definitely had moments of shocking me. I wasn’t expecting it but should’ve been expecting it kinda thing.

I really liked it. I’m glad that I’ve finally read it!
