"The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time" is a book told from the perspective of Christopher. Christopher is highly intelligent in math and science (as evidenced in the book), but he does not understand human emotion, and does not like to be touched.

When he finds his neighbor's dog has been killed, Christopher attempts to find the murderer. He tracks all of his detective work in a book. After his father finds the book, he takes it away from Christopher and tells him to stay out of people's business and stop asking about the dog. One day when Christopher finds his book, he finds much more than he bargained for as well.

"The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time" is a really good book. It was very interesting to read from the perspective of an autistic child. I would recommend you read "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time" if for no other reason than to gain that kind of perspective. "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time" is a story told with a unique contemporary voice, and it will definitely keep you interested.

"The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time" is a rather fast read. So pick it up if you have a couple of spare hours and just want some unique humor and a good book.
