Book Review of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
reviewed on + 2 more book reviews


The narrator and protagonist is a fifteen year old autistic boy who is high-functioning but still very "quirky." Perhaps the most amazing thing about the book is the fact that the author NEVER steps out of character when narrating. Prosaically, the book is perfection. The story itself is also quite gripping. The use of the work "and" to begin nearly every sentence and paragraph becomes slightly annoying towards the end of the book, but one feels it's probably a habit a teenage autistic boy might employ.
