The trip to London is a critical part of the book. Do you think that Haddon does a good job of making it feel like you are traveling with a person with autism?

I really like this part, this is where I completely loose all ability to put the book down. I'm so excited and scared for Christopher so bought into the journey.

Haddon does a remarkable job.

I loved this part, too! It really made me feel what it might be like to be a person in the world, trying to navigate it all, through a different perspective. It made me think about all of us, and the ways we experience the world.
