Picking up this book years later, I went into the story with fresh eyes, also as a teacher who recently started working with differently abled students, I had a new perspective that I didn't have in the past.

First, this book is fantastic. I find Christopher to be beyond brave. Although he stumbled, he faltered - he still managed to use the coping mechanisms taught to him and self-acquired to take on the grand task of "detecting".

My favorite chapters takes place in the Train station...let's just say, I was equal parts impressed, amazed, worried and relieved during those pages.

This is a first there was nothing that I didn't like.

This story aged well.

Cheers to a fine vintage
