Supergute Tage oder die sonderbare Welt des Christopher Boone

This is a story about the weirdness of the world as understood by Christopher John Francis Boone, a boy with autism who lives with his father in a small town in the UK. Christopher and his idiosyncrasies are instantly lovable. Through the eyes of a boy who thinks of everyone as different from himself, we’re reminded just how many common threads bind us all together.

Great story. Really gets inside the head of this fictional autistic child. I can't believe how much I related to how he thinks.

Abandoning this book because the kid narrator really makes me want to slap him in the face. Maybe it's because he reminds me a bit of myself when I was younger. And I really do want to slap my younger self in the face for thinking I was so much smarter than everyone but really I was just being an asshole. It was really the chapter about the revelation of who killed the dog and their casual dismissal and uncaringness (which I won't mention due to the spoiler) that made me angry enough to abandon this book. Maybe the last half is good but I don't think I'll come back to it unless I'm really bored or someone convinces me otherwise.
