Review.

Christopher is an austistic child who relates well to animals but has little understanding of human emotions. He doesn't like to feel touched. He is a fan of the fictional character Sherlock Holmes and one day when he finds his neighbour's dog, Wellington, killed, he gets blamed for it and took Sherlock Holmes as his inspiration and decides to find out the true murderer. This lead the child to the dissolution of his parent's marriage.

Initially when i looked at the cover of this book, i felt that i would never read it, or even touch it. But as i had to choose a book for this assignment, i found that this book is not what i expected at all. This book is funny, mysterious and at the same time a heartbreaker. It is a pity that a child our age has to go through the crisis of his own family, but in actual fact, alot of families in our society are breaking up and this story is depicting a situation that one might go through.

I found it fun reading this book and would definitely recommend this to other people!
