BOOK REVIEW This is a story about a special child named Christopher who excells in MAth and Science.He was so curious who killed Wellington,Mrs Shear's dog from the neighborhood.He was made to believe that his mom died.He played like a secret agent trying to solve the case not until he pissed of his father so the truth was revealed.That her mom was having an affair with Mr Shears and eventually had divorced his father so she can be with Mr shears.Out of his father's anger,he killed Wellington with a garden fork.As a result,Christopher feared his father so he always had a swift knife on his pocket to protect him.He secretly made his way to London in search of his mother.His presence triggered an argument between his mom and Mr Shears until they split off.He and his mom returned to Swindon as a result.His father disapprove his mother's presence in their house but he can't do anything because Christopher is afraid of him.He tried everything to win Christophers' trust again.Later,his mom was able to get a job and was able to rent a small room in town.To prove to him that he can trust his father again,he was given a puppy.His dad also planted fruits and vegetables on the backyard so he can soon harvest them and eat them as soon as its ready for harvest.He also got a score of A in his MAth test.He was so happy because someday,he wanted to be a scientist.
The story is funny,intelligent and very informative.Mark Haddon seem to know how these kids live.He has a deep understanding of their thoughts,of their defecencies and so with their strenghts.As a psych major,I find it challenging to work in SPED school because these kids seem to have a routine.They must follow a routine,they never run out of questions and their daily activities shouldn't be altered or else they will go crazy on you. Somehow,there's something exciting in them.That once you earn their trust,they will look up to you forever.True,you need extra patience in dealing with them .But mostly,these kids has promising futures because sometimes they go beyond the limmit and that's what exciting... I like Christopher's characters coz I found it weird yet very original.He don't want to be touched,nor his food to touch each others.He can predict how his day would go buy just counting cars on the street depending on the color.He was not a chatter but he asks a lot of questions.He won't stop until his own schedule is being followed.He owned a wrist watch so he can keep tract of his time every seconds.He has a pet,a rat...Most of all,he knows a lot about the complexities of life that's why he is normally filled with unanswered questions. In short,pag may anak akong ganito katalino,siguro tumbling ako dahil araw araw akong mananalangin na kahit tanunign nya ako ng kahit ano,wag lang Math! dahil mapapaaga ang pagkamatay ko! Thanks Jen for this book! At first,I thought it's boring but I kinda like it.I laugh and giggled.I also learn a lot but still,can't understand the formulas he is trying to explain here,you know Math and Scientific stuffs..I'm allergic to them :). I just know there's galaxy,milky way,stars,universe,fog,clouds,sun and moon but measuring their coldness,warmth,distance and so forth and so on would bleed me to death! bwaharhahrhar.My apologies....
