I loved that this book wasn't romanticised and didn't have a straightforward pleasant ending. I loved the honest and raw portrayal of Christopher a 15 year old boy with autism. I think this book gives such a good insight into the point of view of someone living with autism and how they see the world. All the mathematics in this book went over my head obviously but nonetheless I found Chris such an endearing character and I found the other characters faults and issues really intriguing and gripping. A classic that I think any reader can get a lot from reading. A very heartfelt story and Christopher is a one of a kind character and the unsung hero of the novel. A deeply captivating story about human nature and identity.
