This was actually one of my summer reading books for 10th grade(and my favorite...between The Alchemist and Night). One of the first things that attracted me was that the title actually concerned a dog(hey, i like animals). I could relate to the protagonist's various quirks(though he could get on my nerves at times). I just a very interesting way of viewing the world.

The book wasn't my cup of tea, but I can appreciate the writing style and voice.

I like this book. Though as an Aspie myself, I feel like the protagonist is too close to being a sociopath than an actual autistic person.

I liked this book a lot. The main character was really interesting, and the author did a nice job of dropping the reader into his head.

Hmm, how much are we supposed to symphathize with Christopher?

[down] Yeah I mean symphatize. I know this is kind of a pet peeve but by the time Christopher sees his mother in London....and then complains about having to take his Math test, my patience was wearing thin with the character. On the other hand, it's a good display of how detached he is.

[up]Do you mean sympathize? And I'm not sure. I find him to be a Jerkass Woobie myself.

The fact that the chapters were numbered in prime numbers really annoyed me.

It was a good read,still a Downer Ending that it had to be the most sympathetic character who killed the dog.
