The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time  By Mark Haddon


*****5/5 stars   Fiction
Christopher Boone can remember every moment of his life. He can’t understand other people, but he can do any type of math or science. Christopher lives with his dad and his mom is dead. When the neighbor’s dog is found killed, Christopher’s curiosity is stirred and he sets out to find the murderer. What will an autistic fifteen-year-old kid uncover?


          This book was unique because the author wrote it from Christopher’s point of view and it was interesting to see how he thought of things.  That was one of the reasons why I liked it. To have the book from Christopher’s view made dialogue seem a bit plain because he is autistic, but the writing was so good, you could still tell what a person was trying to convey through Christopher.
