The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time - Book Review!

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time - is a 2003 mystery novel by British writer Mark Haddon. "Wikipedia"

Hello, my beautiful friends! Thanks for coming again! How are you living?

I have to say that I LOVE murder, mystery, detective kinda story. So, Today I am going to talk about a book called The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time!

The Curious Incident of the Dog
in the Night-Time

The book is a first-person tale of Christopher, a fifteen-year-old with Asperger's Syndrome or high-functioning autism. He loves maths because it is safe, straightforward and has a definite answer, unlike life. He's also good at explaining some aspects, ending an explanation of calculating primes with "Prime numbers are what is left when you have taken all the patterns away." He has interesting theories on the constellations, the Big Bang theory, major religions, etc. A difficult task considering Christopher is autistic, hates crowds, and can't stand to be touched by people. Right from the beginning, we are being thrown into this mystery story - which is not really a mystery story but a story about Christopher's life and struggles.

His mom has recently died, and he discovers a dead dog in one of his neighbor’s yards. Since he doesn’t care much about other people’s emotions, he goes around, knocking on doors in his neighborhood to ask who killed the dog. Christopher sets out to solve a mystery; who murdered Wellington, his neighbor's dog, something he wants very much to do because he is accused of committing the crime. The dad comes across as calm, especially to a young kid, yet is a passive-aggressive person who doesn’t always realize how much clarity his son needs. In fact, the crux of the story isn’t about the dog, it’s what the dad keeps from Christopher “until he gets old enough to understand.” Even though he’s autistic, we find out that Christopher is old enough to know anything - and will go way out of his way to find the truth.

We learn a lot about autism, it’s very defined characteristics and why it’s so difficult for ‘normal’ people to be around. No one in the story treats Christopher the way he wants to be treated except a counselor at school. Overall, a great story about a young, brave autistic boy trying to find his place in this very complicated world. Worth the read.
