Journal 3

In this section of the book, Christopher's father reveals the truth about Chris's mother, after Christopher finds letters written to him by his mother. Another shocking piece of information is revealed as well. Ed Boone killed Wellington the dog. When Christopher hears about this, he feels unsafe at home. So he runs away. Well, first hides in the garden. He then runs away to the address on his mother's letters to him. The story quickly comes to a point where Christopher is trying to overcome his fear of London, where there are a lot of people and loud noises. 

This part of the book is no longer about the book he is writing to find the murderer of Wellington. (it was revealed it was Ed)  The book now has taken a turn to searching out his mother. This doesn't have much to do with the main story of the book. (if there WAS one behind all of the crazy side tracks) It's a sad depressing story now. Though, with Christopher's lack of emotion, I as a reader did not feel any emotion. I think this plot turn really helps the book. Until now, it was quite uneventful and boring. This really picked up the story. It is still not one of my favorite reads though. It's still slightly distracted by Christopher's thoughts.  All in all, it's a good book, but not for anyone who doesn't like listening to the mind of an autistic boy. 

Judging by what has just happened in the book, and just knowing how the book generally flows, I feel the ending will be abrupt and unpleasing.  UNTIL NEXTIMEEEEEE. K bye.
