The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time





Well it literally took me only 6 hours to read this book. It's very easy to read, but quite insightful!

It's about a 15-year old boy, Christopher, who has Asberger's Syndome. The book starts with him finding his neighbour's dog murdered (with a garden fork) and sets out to solve the mystery. He's goes on a mini-adventure which ends up him discovering more than he bargained for. I really enjoyed reading it, quite funny at times. Though I'm not sure that the bits that were funny, should have been as they had to do with his Asberger's, such as him not liking the colours brown and yellow and screaming everytime someone touches him. It gave a whole new perspective on the world and the way things are as people with Asberger's see the world quite a lot differently- at least that is what I understood from the book.

Definitely going to have a look into reading Mark Hadden's other book...
