1. Summary of a chapter.<br />I have four favorite chapters in the book: <br />107: About The Hound of the Baskervilles, Christopher's favorite(*) book.<br />149: When the protagonist discovers his mother is alive.<br />191: In this chapter Christopher gets by himself to catch a train to London.<br />233: The final chapter and happy end of the story.<br />This numeration corresponds actually to the chapters: 28th, 35th, 43th and 51st because the main character and narrator of the history decides to use prime numbers. <br />I am going to do the summary of the chapter 191.<br />In this chapter, Christopher arrives at the train station by himself and manages to take the train to London. <br />This may sound simple, but it is not in the case of the protagonist because he has a type of autism that prevents him from relating to people in a normal way. For example, he feels sick when there are many people and hates being touched.<br />Despite all this, Christopher manages to buy a ticket and board the train. For which he needs, long time, relax himself and help from a policeman, but finally he gets to do what he wants.<br />Biography of Mark Haddon <br />Mark Haddon was born on September 26, 1962 in Northampton, England. He studied English literature at Merton College, Oxford, finishing his studies at the University of Edinburgh.<br />Haddon is an English writer, illustrator and scriptwriter, best known for his 2003 novel The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, a book which is written from the perspective of a boy with a kind of autism. Haddon won the Whitbread Book of the Year Award and the Commonwealth Writers' Prize Overall Best First Book for this novel.<br />The author had written especially children's literature and this was the first book that he wrote for an adult audience. His second adult novel, A Spot of Bother, was published in September 2006.<br />The most outstanding of the rest of his work are his series of Agent Z books and some scripts for television programs.<br />Blurbs<br />The book has an original approach, because we look at the world through Christopher’s eyes. At the beginning of the tale, we don´t understand what happen to the protagonist and we are as surprised as some of the characters in the story, but we are gradually realize the particular way of understanding Christopher's world.<br />The Times<br />It’s written so simply, and beautifully, exactly how someone suffering from the syndrome would write it. In addition, the author manages to present situations funny and optimistic, despite that the story has a dramatic theme.<br />The Guardian<br />It’s different. It’s passionate. Immediately I was hooked. I couldn’t put it down. I read it all in one go from the first until the last page. I loved it, just like everyone told me I would.<br />The Bookseller<br />CORRECTIONS<br />Summary of a chapter.<br />I have four favorite chapters in the book: <br />107: About The Hound of the Baskervilles, Christopher's favourite(*) book.<br />149: When the protagonist discovers his mother is alive.<br />191: In this chapter Christopher gets to catch a train to London by himself.<br />233: The final chapter and happy end of the story.<br />This numeration actually corresponds to the chapters 28th, 35th, 43rd and 51st chapters because the main character and narrator of the story decides to use prime numbers. <br />I am going to do the summary of chapter 191.<br />In this chapter, Christopher arrives at the train station by himself and manages to take the train to London. <br />This may sound simple, but it is not in the case of the protagonist because he has a type of autism that prevents him from relating to people in a normal way.
