Had it not been for the popular stage production of this Mark Haddon novel, which I kept hearing about but have never seen, it's likely I would not have picked this up in a Salzburg shop (in a slight panic that I would run out of books before the end of a vacation). It is a diverting read, and useful in explaining to the ignorant (me) the characteristics of Asperger's. The mystery of the title is fairly transparent.
