THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT
TIME, by Mark
Haddon
When I saw the book “The Curious Incident of the Dog in
the Night-Time “ on
the library shelf I thought it really had a weird cover, the picture of a dead
dog . Although I had no idea what it was about, such a long title made me feel
curious.
The book is a short
mystery novel whose main character is Christopher,
a fifteen-year-old boy who has Asperger Syndrome, a kind of autism. He is great
at Maths and Physics, but he is unable to understand human relationships.
The
plot begins with the appearance of a dead dog in Christopher’s garden. He sets
on a journey to find the murderer, which will even take him to London. A surprising decision if we consider
that Christopher has never crossed his street alone.
I think “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time “ is a different
, interesting novel since it shows you how difficulties can be overcome and it
makes you believe that nothing is impossible if you try hard. Therefore, I
strongly recommend it. I’m sure you will not be disappointed.
