The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-time

I just recently read "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time


I have to say this is a very good book.

I was very pessimistic at first about the title,

I thought it would be a short child fiction but as soon as I began reading it was obviously not.

The story is told in the 1st person from the point of view of a severe sufferer of autism.

I don't want to give any of the story away but I would just say this book is definitely worth a read.

Hi!

This was a really refreshing read. I loved the way the protagonist speaks and how his character is built.
It has definitely marked itself on my "all time faves" list.

It was like nothing I've ever read. Talk about original. The way the author did the main character's voice was amazing.

Although, I was really upset about the dog dying. :(

I saw this in the book store and didn't give it a second glance but now I think I'll be buying this one.

I loved this book. I picked it up at a thrift store without knowing anything about it and I was so glad I did, it's definitely one of my all time favorite novels. It's so unique, it's like nothing I had ever read before. I agree, it's very, very good.

Totally agree, brilliant book. I read this book and couldn't stop crying. But then again, I cry at anything.
