The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

Pages: 216
Author: Mark Haddon

The curious Incident of the dog in the night time is a great book about an autistic boy named Christopher Francis Boone. It is written in first person, and it is about how he finds his neighbors dog murdered one night and writes a book about who killed it. While trying to find this out he encounters several things about his past that lead him to his answer (which has been right in front of him the entire time!)
I really enjoyed this book because its very different and very good, when you are reading it you actually believe that someone with autism wrote the book when really Mark Haddon has no disabilities what so ever. The only reason he was able to portray an autistic boy so well was because during college he worked with special needs children.
