The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon

My review

rating: 5 of 5 stars
Really excellent. Written from the prespective of a 15 yo special needs boy, who has decided to investigate an neighborhood crime, this book perfectly balances story with point of view. With direct language, it moves through coping to self discovery, from challenge to personal strengths. An unusual novel, it offers a great change from everything else, a glimpse into a different kind of intelligence.
