Christopher John Francis
Boone knows all the countries of the world and their capitals and every
prime number up to 7,057. He relates well to animals but has no
understanding of human emotions. He cannot stand to be touched. And he
detests the color yellow.
Although gifted with a superbly logical
brain, for fifteen-year-old Christopher everyday interactions and
admonishments have little meaning. He lives on patterns, rules, and a
diagram kept in his pocket. Then one day, a neighbor's dog, Wellington,
is killed and his carefully constructive universe is threatened.
Christopher sets out to solve the murder in the style of his favourite
(logical) detective, Sherlock Holmes. What follows makes for a novel
that is funny, poignant and fascinating in its portrayal of a person
whose curse and blessing are a mind that perceives the world entirely
literally |
