How awesome is this kid?

For those who haven't read it, it's all about a 15 year old
boy with Aspergers who finds his neighbours dog, dead
with a garden fork in him, and tries to find out who killed
him

It's a fantastic book and you'll instantly fall in love with
Christopher

I know! Poor thing

I love the part near the begning when he's talking about why
he can't tell a lie.

ANd he says he likes dogs cause they're easy to understand
cause they only have 4 moods. Happy, sad, confused and
concentrating. And dogs cannot lie because the cannot speak

It's excellent, "Looks like we got ourselves a train elf..."
best line ever!

i wonder if the gov't really does pay you for being able to
decipher large prime numbers. i have to make this
conversation kinda short unfortunately because i'm going to
get banned soon :) have u read any other good books lately?
i tried to get through siddartha but i kinda just stopped in
the middle. it's just laziness by my part. i should've been
done with the book a long time ago. the story is
ridiculously short.

That's the first book outside of the Dark Tower by Stephen
King I've read in a while tbh

I'm starting to read a book by Nial Griffiths called Kelly
and Viktor which is pretty cool. A modern day drug filled
love story from what I've read so far

It's written in a mind of welsh slang so it may be a little
tricky to pick up the structure of some of the sentanves,
but you'll get it pretty much =o)

"My name is Christopher John Francis Boone. I know all the
countries of the world and their capital cities and every
prime number up to 7,507. "

ALl the chapters are prime numbers too cause he likes them
=o)

This book is pretty ace! I read it in one sitting, which is
something, considering my short attention span.

At one point I did get annoyed with his character when he
contradicted some of his beliefs. He told his mate that
imagining made up situations was stupid, then a couple of
pages on, he is imagines a made up situation himself. This
was probably done on purpose to show what sort of kid he is
tho i guess.

An OKish adn quick read but not something I think that will
go down as a contemporary classic. I might eat my words in
20 years but I doubt it.

i read it too. i thought it was ok.
i liked the first half better, the detective part so to
speak. during the second half (his 'quest') i got a bit
bored.
