The curious incident of the dog in the night-time
is indeed a curious novel. Written from the view
point of a fifteen year old boy named Christopher
who suffers from Asperger's Syndrome.
This novel at its basic level is a murder mystery
about the death of a neighbors pet dog but the
depth lies in Christopher's day to day struggles,
he loves maths, making lists and patterns.
He hates being touched and the colours red and brown.
I won't ruin the rest because it's a relatively short
read except to say that by the time you've finished
you will believe that this is a diary written in
Christopher's hand.
Well done Mark Haddon for being able to get into the
mind of a teenage boy dealing with Asperger's.
