While in 2003, the book was praised for autistic representation - the author's claim that he did not research the topic while writing the book is apparent while reading. Despite this, the book is an easy read, with a unique writing style and the twist is presented excellently.

It was okay. Interesting to get inside Christopher’s mind and see the world as he sees it.

The book was really nice. There were certainly times were I felt for the side characters who had to take care of Christopher and sometimes there were times that I felt for Christopher himself. I could say that in some ways it was a conflicting book because no side you choose is the right answer and you can't find a satisfactory answer to the question 'what would I do if I was in that situation?'.

Really beautifull and relatively lighthearted read that seems to capture the thought process of neurodivergent people (especially kids) quite well. 
Also enjoyed the use of little pictures and diagrams very much it seemed to fit Christopher very well!
