I'm a mathematician at heart. I cannot give a book that includes the equations for solving a quadratic, or the derivation of pythagorean theorem a bad review. The main character is Christopher Boone, a 15-year-old boy with Aspergers, who sets out to discover who murdered a neighbourhood dog and write a murder mystery book about it. It was flawless narration of this boys 'voice' in his head. It goes beyond the dead dog and has a wonderful plot. I really enjoyed it, although a couple of friends mentioned to me they just couldn't get through it. I loved all the logic problems, patterns, and math. I think there's a little "Christopher Boone" in me...I still pass time in the grocery store line ups by doubling numbers and seeing how large they can get.
