the curious incident of the dog in the night-time

A fictional novel told from the point of view of an autistic boy, Christopher Boone - by Mark Haddon. What I loved most about the book was it's portrayal of honesty when it comes to this boy and his thought process, the way he views the outside world and what happens around him. He takes things very matter-of-factly, and has a super logical way to go about solving his problems. If only we all could think like him! (Also love: the fact that it was such a quick read!) If you can imagine a story coming from someone who seems to be obsessive compulsive and needs things to be just so, this is exactly what you would expect. Complete sentences leaving out too much detail, getting to the point (most of the time anyway...I lost myself in a few babblings), seemingly leaving no trace of humor (but it's all over the place!).

This one took me on a few turns, I thought I knew what was coming up but around each corner was a surprise. And I had no idea where or how it was going to end. Don't stop reading if you're unsure about the style, it seems to mysteriously appeal to the autism in all of us...
