Mark Haddon
(Book group book)
This book focuses on a boy named Christopher who has autism.
One of his neighbors dogs is murdered and he finds the dog and decides to find
out who did it. He decides to go and talk to some of his neighbors about the
dog but instead of hearing about the dog, he finds a lot of things out about
himself and his family. Because of his autism, Christopher doesn’t see
everything we see but he also notices thing we wouldn’t see. He sees the world
in a completely different way. One of the most noticeable things is that he
seems to have a large lack of emotion, when he is talking about his mom dying
he doesn’t feel sad, not because he didn`t love her but just because he doesn’t
understand or feel much emotion.
