Narrated by an autistic savant who tries to solve a murder of a neighbors dog. Refreshing view of life.

Jeff Woodman narrates this new classic about an autistic boy who tries to track down the killer of his neighbor's dog. While Woodman performs admirably, due to the repetitious nature of the material the audio could be a bit tedious at times. We recommend skipping the audio and reading the print copy of this engaging tale.

Have the audio version... captivating. Found myself going out of my way to stay in the car as much as possible to finish book. It is fascinating to look at the world through eyes of an autistic child. Haddon's portrayal of autism right or wrong, kept me intrigued with a view of "normal" people as the curiously odd folks. We do and say the weirdest things and in the context of normal conversation or lives it makes sense to us but to view the literal sense of what we do is very entertaining and Haddon gives many examples to keep the reader/listener interested.

This was such a great story. The British accents of the characters, together with the hilarious writing, probably made me look like a grinning idiot as I listened on the bus each day.
