I know that people can become frustrated with autistic children because they don't understand and this book can be a real eye opener for people to try to have more patience and understanding.

I found it hard to read little at a time, so I essentially read it in about 3 sittings.

I really liked it at first, and I felt that although Christopher was not a character that I could connect with, I felt for him. I admired his courage, despite his disorder, and as the book went on, I felt drawn in more and more. However, as soon as I learned who actually killed poor Wellington, the book became a drag, and a tad boring. The style of writing that I had grown to love in other books was too much and I had the feeling, sooner than later, that I wished the book would end. I liked the characters, and felt they were incredibly well developed, but the plot of the story and how it dragged on did not appeal to me in the long run.

I love it too! Christopher is a really funny character and my heart went out to the poor kid who's just trying to find out who killed the dog. This is and will always be one of my all-time favourite books! I strongly recommend it to everyone who just wants to have a good time with a good book. =) I’m not surprised that many people loved this book! I love it too!

I did like learning more about autism and how people view the world. Kim - Thanks for your compliments. Dewey and I actually continued our conversation via email, I need to ask if I can post the rest of the comments. Differing opinions are always interesting and invited.
