    Written with wit and insight...

    Haddon has cornered the market on a unique subject matter. He gives us a rare glimpse into the mind of an autistic teenager. Add to the mix an obsession with Sherlock Holmes and a love for animals and soon Christopher is compelled to solve a neighborhood murder (Wellington, the poodle). There are some interesting twists to the tale as Christopher soon finds out some dark family secrets along the way. I love how he views everyday life through great detail and numbers, colors, etc. You can see how much the father struggles to keep a close relationship with him and also deal with a failed marriage. Near the end, Christopher goes on a very daring and brave quest that will astound you. He tests his own limits and boundaries. And that's what I really love about it!

    The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

    I got this book because it was the summer reading book for my kids in high school. I always read the book they are assigned because I want to know what they are being exposed to. We were warned by the principal (Catholic School) that there were words in there that we didn't find acceptable for our children to use. I did not find the swearing overused (the f word is minimal). As for the subject of the book, it was a book that takes some careful reading at the beginning to learn the style of the writer, but it moves along after that. The boy in the book I think may be autistic, comes across as a more articulate "Rainman". He prefers order and familiarity in his life, but finds out that his family is far from that. He also was told by his dad, who he lived with, that his mom was dead. The ...

    Well written - involves thinking

    This book is very well written, but it does require focus from the reader. The main character,an autistic young man, carries the reader along in his endeavor to solve a mystery involving the killing of a neighborhood poodle. As his mind moves around from topic to topic, it can be hard to follow at first. You soon begin to understand more about how his mind works and a little about his background, and what was confusing at first begins to make perfect sense- almost. The book was required reading for my daughter in her college freshman English class. I read it primarily because of the seller's recommendation, and I am glad I put the time in to do so. It's not the type of book I would normally read for pleasure, but we all need to break away from our comfort zone now and then and read ...

    Good Read and interesting to many people.

    I am the only one in my book club that gave this book a #3. I just didn't like it and I believe that is a personal thing. The book affects you on many different levels.

    The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night

    I bought this book for a monthly book club meeting. The writing style is very different and made it difficult for me to "get into" the book. While I can't say I really enjoyed the book, I must say that it has generated a lot of thought about the book which is a sign of good literature - it makes you think. In my opinion, the author did do a good job of increasing my understanding of the challenges an autistic person must deal with every day. In that regard, it was a real "eye opener" to autism and the family members who must also learn how to deal with an autistic child and the patience required.
