Christopher John Francis Boone knows all the countries of the world and their capitals and every prime number up to 7057. He relates well to animals but has no understanding of human emotions. He cannot stand to be touched. And he detests the color yellow.

Mark Haddon has written a brilliant, clever story which brings you into the mind of an autistic teenager. I was very pleastantly surprised at how good this book is. The characters and story feel so real, primarily because the author wrote the book as if Christopher himself was the author.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time follows Christopher’s quest to investigate the suspicious death of a neighborhood dog all the while introducing you into the different ways he views and thinks about the world.

This is easily one of the best stories Ive read. Absolutely recommended.
