Author: Mark Haddon
Pages: 272
Genre:
Murder Mystery Novel

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time is a novel about 15 year-old Christopher Boone, a child with Asperger's Syndrome. He is increadible at math, but human beings are a mystery to him. Throughout the story he makes lists, and patters. He hates the color brown and yellow and doesn't liked to be touched, but he likes the color red.
Christopher has never been farther than the end of the street he lives on but when his neighbors dog is murdered he sets on on a journey to find the murderer and along the way he find out things that turn his and those around hims world upside-down.
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time was written in first person (Christophers point of view). What i found most surprising is that his mother leaving when he was younger is what causes his life now to change! I the enire book and i find that it is funny but also sad. I couldn't put this book down! :)
