The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

Title: The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

Author: Mark Haddon

Review: Think The Catcher in the Rye meets neighborhood murder mystery, yet the victim is the neighbor's dog and the detective is a fifteen year old boy with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Viciously funny, tender, and observant, Christopher, the protagonist, has difficulty with emotion and yet so beautifully shows us the human condition. This book is laugh out loud funny, heart tugging, and wise, all at once.
