Christopher Boone is fifteen years old and has Asperger’s syndrome. He is smart, knows a lot of maths, loves patterns, lists, dogs and the truth. Since Christopher has Asperger’s syndrome he has trouble talking with other people and I think he doesn’t like talking to other people either because they are so complicated. That might also be the reason why he loves dogs, the text says that they are very simple (they only have four moods), and they do not tell lies. Christopher hates lies. He hates the colours brown and yellow and when people touch him. Christopher rarely walks far away from home. Christopher had a hard time understanding why the woman was angry and yelling at him when he had picked up the dead dog.
I think that the things Christopher likes has some things in common. Patterns, lists, dogs, the truth and policemen are all very reliable, they do what they are supposed to do. I think that is why he likes them. That is also probably why he doesn’t want to leave his street, he thinks it’s not safe and he doesn’t know what is out there. He can not be sure off what will happen.
