I wanted to read this book because of 1) the cover that caught my interest by not looking too interesting and 2) the fact that the main character has Asperger syndrome, which I find interesting because a) I love to learn about mental disorders and b) I want to be a therapist one day.

- I chose to explain why I wanted to read the book, and the mood in the first chapter, by using numbers and letters. The reason why I did this is because this is how Christopher explains many of his actions in the book.

The cover made me think that the book was written for children and that I would not find it interesting. That is exactly why the cover was one of the reasons why I wanted to read the book. I tend to read books with covers that do not make me want to read it, these books are the ones I find the most interesting.

The book begins seven minutes after midnight, when Christopher John Francis Boone finds Wellington, the dog belonging to Mrs. Shears, dead on Mrs. Shears lawn with a garden fork through its side. Christopher touches the dog, wondering who killed it, and why.

The book is written in first person point of view, through Christopher John Francis Boone's perspective. The mood in the first chapter is dark, sad and mysterious. This is because a) it is dark outside, b) Christopher finds a dead dog, and c) Christopher is going to find out who killed the dog. The characters introduced in the first chapter are Mrs. Shears and her dog, Wellington. Christopher introduces himself in the second chapter. After reading 58 pages, I think possible themes are coping with loss, how to become independent and life with a disorder (Christopher has Asperger syndrome).
