“The book's narrator, Christopher, doesn't express his emotions, but it's fascinating how his behavior tells us everything, and we're able to get glimpses of this autistic's capacity to love and care about others. Most readers are drawn to flawed characters, and Christopher is one, but I was amazed at how my affection for him grew. I ached for him in his quest for the truth, and then, at how shocking the truth was.”
