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


sad book about a sad dysfunctional family. The only interesting thing is it is written from an autistic boy's point of view. If it wasn't for that gimmick, I doubt that any publisher would find this story interesting enough or well written enough to publish. It has been called "a character study". All characters except the boy are one dimensional, and the boy's point of view is covered, not so much his "character". I didn't hate it, but i feel it is more of a waste of time, and i think there are better and more accurate ways if you want learn about autism.
