The ending was in keeping with his character I thought. WIth it being from an autistic kids viewpoint I don't think some dramatic crescendo would have worked.

Absolutely great novel about an autistic boy who tries to solve the murder on the neighbour's poodle and discovers much more. Entire novel is written in this boy's perspective and his autistic mind can't cope with the chaotic stimuli from the outer world like the way we do. His mind is pure logic and functions with pure reason.

Actually, it's brilliant.
Top notch book, bought it a few months ago :icon14:

It was almost with emotion when he said: "I can do anything now".

Yeah definitely, and I think that was as close you really could have gotten without it being unrealistic.
