It was really interesting to see what the inside of a person's head with autism looks like. It helps you understand a lot of things about how different everyone is and how that can affect their life and their mind. In Christopher's case it was fascinating to read about how easily he could de-attach himself emotionally from almost any situation. He also had an extreme ability to focus on something for hours in some cases, going into a sort of "trance".
When we got to the biggest reveal and the turning point in the book, I audibly gasped. Maybe I could have guessed it, but it's probably better that I didn't. The fact that there were so many messed-up things in this book made it all the more interesting, which may sound bad, but it is true.
The writing style was simple, yet it had some great quotes in it and it portrayed a 15-year-old's level of writing. It was basic, but you could still understand exactly what the writer meant at all times.
This book was a great read (especially for a debut novel) and I would recommend it to any age group!
I think prime numbers are like life. They are very logical but you could never work out the rules, even if you spent all your time thinking about them.
