Christopher Boone is a 15-year-old young adult of British origin. Christopher describes himself as a machine. We have reports that he said, “I sometimes think of my mind as a machine” (Haddon 7). Christopher currently lives with his mother, who asked to remain anonymous, and his father, Edward Boone. Christopher is from Swindon, UK, where he was born and raised, until his parents divorced when his mother moved in with Roger Shears (Christopher's former neighbor and ex-husband of his former girlfriend father). Christopher Boone suffers from many behavioral/emotional problems, such as being irritable, unstable, and not talking to people for a long time. He also has issues like not eating or drinking for long periods of time and refusing to be touched. Christopher is currently in high school, enrolled in A level mathematics. Christopher's father, Ed Boone, is known for killing his neighbor's dog, Wellington. On page 1, (at midnight), Christopher enters the neighbor's yard after looking out the window and seeing Wellington stabbed with a pitchfork. Christopher says: “I stroked Wellington and wondered who had killed him and why.” Christopher cared deeply for Wellington and loved dogs. We hypothesize that Christopher had abandonment issues after his mother left. Christopher's trust in his father declined, but after he bought Christopher his own puppy, he began to regain Christopher's trust ("he leaned over and put his hands in the box and he pulled out one little sand-colored dog") (Haddon 219). . Christopher also tends to perform poorly in social/academic situations. Some examples would be: not interacting with other children, being bullied, and acting aggressively when touched.
