A beautifully crafted and empathetic story, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time is told through the eyes of Christopher, an autistic teenager, and is a fascinating tale of the boy?s amusing attempts to unravel the mystery death of his neighbour?s dog. A fascinating insight into what living with autism must be like, this intriguing novel sees Christopher battle with difficulties such as reading facial expressions and controlling his emotions, as he attempts to slowly and, at times clumsily, draw together the pieces. Mark Haddon's remarkable novel is a delightfully different read that will live with you for a long time.
