The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
I have just read a very fascinating "mystery" novel by Mark Haddon called The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.
It is written from an autistic twelve year old ( Christopher Boone) point of view, and covers the time period after he discovers a neighbor's dog murdered in their front yard. The boy's view of the world is truly fascinating, with his logical descriptions of human emotions being the best part.
I have never read anything quite like Mark Haddon's funny and agonizingly honest book. Very insightful & I really enjoyed it. This short, easy to read book are Highly recommended

I enjoyed this book, for the most part. It was definitely interesing coming from the child's perspective. To be honest, however, the kid started to really annoy me about 3/4 through the book.
Anyway, I like your site....just found it today. I'll come back.
