In the first few chapters of this novel I have learned that the novel is a mystery novel, but not any mystery novel it’s about a dog that was murdered. The man who is telling the story is autistic. He doesn’t know how to interpret facial expressions so he carries around a piece of paper with different faces on it so he can tell how people are feeling. What is also different about this novel is all the chapters are prime numbers, I was kind of confused by this and I’m still unsure why he chose to do that.
The novel begins in first person, the main character finding a dead dog in his neighbor’s yard. He finds a pitchfork stabbed into the dog, he takes out the fork and holds the dog. He took a minute to think about how the dog was killed and came to the conclusion that he was murdered.
