The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night

This book is by Mark Haddon and was recommended to me by Kate. At first I was truly skeptical because it is about an autistic boy. (In fact it is written from his viewpoint.) I was concerned that there was going to be a lot of psych based simpering in this book and I was pleasantly surprised to find that there is none at all.

I did enjoy this book. While I was reading it I felt like I got a glimpse of what it is like for an autistic person and I could see the mechanisms that created this situation, what the being was operating off of. While this was not pleasant necessarily to confront, it was interesting because I know that there is a tech to handle that.

I would not say that the book is funny, but there are parts of it that are amusing and it is certainly interesting. The main character is not a victim and I actually admired him very much.
