The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is a murder mystery novel like no other. The detective, and narrator, is Christopher Boone. Christopher is fifteen and has Asperger's, a form of autism. He knows a very great deal about maths and very little about human beings. He loves lists, patterns and the truth. He hates the colours yellow and brown and being touched. He has never gone further than the end of the road on his own, but when he finds a neighbour's dog murdered he sets out on a terrifying journey which will turn his whole world upside down.

Review of 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Do you know what it's like to be Asperger's? Through this reading you can open the door to the concept. I cannot judge whether the portrait is good; in any case, it is still an introduction. But beware, it's a novel. Simple, but at the same time profound, it does not convey anger, but detects it and visualizes it through a rogue immersed in a world that neither understands nor understands it, but is used so that we can begin that understanding.
