Search - The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time

A very interesting story about a child with Asperger's Syndrome; he cannot interact normally with other humans, though his math and logic skills are exceptional. We follow Christopher Boone's investigation into the murder of his neghbor's dog and an interesting new view of human emotion.

Excellent read. You are able to view the world from the perspective of the main character, an autistic young man, and see both the beauty and horror that result from his mental condition.

[This book] is a murder mystery novel like no other. The detective, and narrator, is Christopher Boone. Christopher is fifteen and has Asperger's Syndrome.
