The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time


I just finished reading "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time"! It's by Mark Haddon. It is about Christopher Boone, a 15 years old boy who has Asperger's syndrome. He lives with his dad in England. His mom is dead. Christopher is a very unique boy.
One night he discovers Wellington, the neighbours dog, speared by a garden fork. Mrs Shears, the owner of the dog, finds Wellington and she put the blame on Christopher. That's when all the drama starts. Christopher does everything from hitting a policeman and getting a warning, to finding letters that's about to change his life, and the next moment he finds out his mom is alive! That's why he travels by his own, all the way to London ..

I think the book is okay, but it could have been more detailed and specific. Also I didn't think it had a 'real' story.

3/5
