McInerney, Jay, New York Times Book Review: "[S]tark, funny and original....Haddon manages to bring us deep inside Christopher's mind and situates us comfortably within his limited, severely logical point of view, to the extent that we begin to question the common sense and the erratic emotionalism of the normal citizens who surround him, as well as our own intuitions and habits of perception....Christopher Boone is...certainly one of the strangest and most convincing characters in recent fiction." |
