After reading 'The Curious Incident Of The Dog', i feel that the book is very unique. Although it has very crude wordings, it's stiil very facinating that the author has a very fun way of expressing himself. For example, he only uses prime numbers for the chapters.
The story tells about christopher, who was a boy that had a broken family, was accused of killing the neighbour's (Mrs Shear) dog. He decided to play detective after the incident.
In the end, he found out a few things:
his father had killed the dog;
his mother did not die of heart attack, but had lived in London; and
not all of his neighbour was bad.
After he found out all this, he left his father in search of his mother, currently in London. He went on a trip of his life on his own, he met a few problems on the way to London, but he got there.
After all the ups and downs he experienced, his family was finally united.
Good points about the boy is that he is very smart (doing a levels at a young age), loves mathematics, controls his anger by doing maths in his head. He is also very sensible, but has a very weird attitude (not liking strangers to touch him), and very curious about everything (who killed the dog?).
For a general review, i would give this book a 4 star rating.
