2006/4/5 The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark HaddonI took a trip over the weekend and got a bunch of reading in, including "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" by Mark Haddon. This was a really quirky book about an autistic kid trying to solve the mystery about who killed his neighbor's dog. It's written from the boy's point of view, and Haddon does a really good job of getting readers to empathize with him.
Christopher finds a dead dog on his neighbor's lawn late one night, and decides to investigate what happened. He shows off all of his idiosyncracies and somehow pushes closer to the truth. When the story started, it seems pretty straightforward story about life in a English small town. But, as Christopher digs deeper, he finds things that completely change his life (but I won't give it away here).
His trip to London on a train was scary, funny, inspirational, sad, and much more. I thought this book was great and a quick read to boot... |
