      Nice look into the head of an autistic boy. Also interesting to see how other people react to him. The frequent enumeration of things made the book less interesting after a while.
    • 5/5
      I do hope Chris get to study maths.
    • 3/5
      Was encouraged to read this a number of years ago when our son was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, but am really glad I didn't. Whilst the book may be a very good portrayal of one person's experience of Asperger's, as with every other ASD it is a very personal experience and each person's is different. Reading this book when tom was first diagnosed would have scared me and made me more concerned for the future.For any parent reading this to gain insight, do so with caution. get to know your child first and do not rely on books like this to guide your expectations.A good story, with interesting insight, but read with caution if you are looking for more than just an interesting story.
    • 5/5
      Brilliant, enough said. Told from the perspective of an autistic child I could not put this book down. This story definately changes the way you view the world of autism. I've personally given this book to three or four other people and I haven't recieved one negative comment yet.
    • 4/5
      I received this one from SantaThing, and read it quickly. I can't say what people with autism actually think and feel, so I can only hope that Haddon's experience working with them gave him an accurate idea of this, as I expect a great many people will be taking their main conceptualizations of autism from this book.What I do know, however, is that this novel is a cleanly written and forceful essay on seeing and not seeing, understanding and not understanding. Haddon's Christopher notices precious things we often overlook, and struggles with precious things we take for granted. Both of these differences remind us to look around us with new eyes.Highly recommended.
    • 3/5
      This book gives the reader a unique perspective with narration by a 15-year-old boy with Asperger's syndrome. We see a small slice of Christopher's life and his daily struggles to keep up in a world he does not always understands (puns, jokes, and facial expressions are just a few of the things he cannot comprehend well) as he searches for the killer of his neighbor's dog, a search which in turn reveals a number of secrets. Since we are supposed to believe the book is being written by Christopher as the events unfold, it is an interesting twist on the act of writing, as the novel lays open the aspects of writing and editing that go into making a good work of fiction (i.e., Christopher's teacher/aide continually tells him what to leave in or out of the book). The idea is fresh, and the writing flow makes it a quick read, but I think the portrait of Christopher is not exactly correct. Since Asperger's syndrome is on the higher functioning end of the autism spectrum, he would probably have less of the troubles described in the book, but since my knowledge of this area is not much, I cannot really comment much on this.

      I was in Santa Barbra, eating at some restaurant, when I noticed a woman at the next table reading this book. Later that night, in a bookstore, I noticed it in the New Arrivals section, and decided to buy it. I had no idea what it was about, or that it would become a book everyone would start talking about in the next year, but I read it quickly, surprised at how different this book was than any other novel I had read before. Now, I didn’t care for it as much as everyone did, but that’s not to say I didn’t enjoy it at all. I liked the mystery of who killed the dog, why his mother had gone off, all the people’s problems and most of all, I loved the narrator’s point of view. Because the main character had autism, the story was told in such a fresh way that it almost wasn’t boring. This book is good, I guess. Many people seem to love it, and it’s been on all the bestseller lists for a long time. If you’ve found yourself in a rut from reading too many of a certain type of book (boring chick lit, travel/adventure, non-fiction), use this book to boost you out of it. There’s pictures!
    • 5/5
      This book was like a breath of fresh air. At times hilarious, at times quite sad, it told its story flawlessly and with fearless emotion. The characters were vivid, fresh, well developed, and immensely appealing, especially the main character, Christopher John Francis Boone. He is an autistic teenager living on the outskirts of London with his father. He believes his mother to be dead, and when he discovers that he has been betrayed and lied to, he sets out on a heartrending journey to find her.Highly recommended.
    • 4/5
      This book is written from the perspective of a boy with autism. In some places, it was difficult to read because his thought processes were so different from most people. It was a fascinating view on a portion of our society and I ended up really enjoying it.
    • 3/5
      Interesting glimpse into the mind of the mentally challenged.
    • 4/5
      I read this book in about two and a half hours. I just couldn't put it down. It's a fantastically well told story from a point of view that you wouldn't expect. Well deserving of its place on all the Books You Should Read lists.
    • 5/5
      Fantastic book. Told in the first person from the perspective of an autistic teenager. You find yourself entranced by him and routing for him as he first tries to solve the mystery of a dog murdered in the night but then goes on to discover important things about his family, himself and what he is capable of. A curious and perfect book.
    • 4/5
      I read this book a few years back and it isn't all that fresh in my head. I do remember I enjoyed the story and the way it was written from all the characters perspectives. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a heartwarming story about someone with serious psychological/diability problems and how life is handles through their own eyes.
    • 2/5
      This book was recommended to me by quite a few folks, but I'm having a hard time figuring out why--perhaps simply because I'm an English teacher, and this book is unique. Regardless, as you may already have guessed, I wasn't impressed. I can appreciate what Haddon was trying to do, as well as the technical difficulty of trying to write a believable book from the perspective of a teenager with Aspergers' syndrome. HOWEVER, at some point, it has to be recognized that perhaps there's a reason there's not an abundance of books narrated in such a way. It comes across as believable (caveat--I am not very familiar with teens with [learning] disabilities of any kind)--but not all that interesting. It gained my interest briefly about a third of the way in, but that portion of the story was resolved quickly and simply moved on from.If you want to see a full-blown writing experiment or a very simple story made complicated, pick this up. Otherwise, I felt the writing was often stilted and the book, overall, just not all that interesting or meaningful. I hate to ask what the point is, but when the entertainment is lacking and nothing larger seems to make it worthwhile, I have to. I wouldn't recommend this, to anyone really, unless perhaps I needed to convince them of the unsuitability of a possible narrator As a narrator....
    • 4/5
      To me, one of the most interesting things about this book is that I liked it, having no experience at all with autism, and that I've also had it recommended by people with autistic family members. That makes me feel better about what I got out of the book, knowing that Haddon got it right enough for people who know to think it's accurate.
    • 4/5
      While the book was very well written, but I don't know that everyone would be rushing for it, so I think it has broad appeal, but I don't think that teens will be dying to read it. I don't know exactly why I think that, but I think that it has a thoughtful quality that might not appeal to all teens. I liked the book. I didn't love it. I really liked the very unique narration and the way that it really made you know the character. I actually got less interested as time went on because I anticipated one of the major revelations way before it happened. While I thoguht it was interesting, I didn't think it was incredible.
    • 4/5
      Excellent perception of how it must be to have ASD. Enables you to see the world from a totally different perspective. Presentation and writing style cleverly simulates the ASD experience ( I presume). Author did not intent being seen as an authority on the subject but has had to wear the hat.
    • 2/5
      The plot didn't capture me, and I just didn't get it. It just, doesn't seem real to me.
    • 4/5
      Good book. Some touching moments, but also a few things didn't mesh well for me, such as the main character saying he doesn't like books and then two or three chapters later, he is describing his favorite book. Other than a few things like that though, the story was great. A lot more interesting than one would think.
    • 5/5
      Fascinating to see inside the brain of an autistic kid. A must for anyone thinking about special ed in any way. Great story, told in character all the way through. Amazing.
    • 4/5
      Very good read. A short and poignant story about what it is like to have Asperger's Syndrome.
    • 3/5
      This one was wonderful. An autistic boy discovers his neighbor's dog murdered on the front lawn. While he unravels the mystery, he discovers much about his own life and family. Chapters are all prime numbers :-)
    • 5/5
      Have you read The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time? If not, you're in the minority. Drop what you're doing and go to your nearest library / book-store and pick up a copy. Begin reading immediately. It's one of the best debut novels you'll read from a modern writer, period. Not too heavy, a quick read, and some brilliant writing. I got my copy because the guy at our independent bookstore raved about it, and (frankly and against all known advice) I liked the way the cover looked. This is another one that hooked me right away. (The narrator is a 15-year autistic boy who solves math problems in his head to relax... if that tells you anything. Or not.)
    • 4/5
      i loved that book very much. it puts you in the mind of an autistic boy, you see the world through his eyes and mind. amazing. really good read
    • 5/5
      Didn't think it would be for me, but it was. Stunning, engaging, and with wide appeal.
    • 4/5
      I zipped through this book, which is really rare for me. It's a very easy read, and I really appreciated the straight-forward, simple tone.
      The book is written from the perspective of an autistic teenager in England who is asked to write a book for a class in his special needs school. He begins by writing a mystery after he discovers the neighbor's murdered dog, but ends up going through and writing about very difficult and life-changing experiences that are just fascinating to observe through his eyes.

      Is this a perfectly accurate description of an autistic mind? I don't know, but I felt like I definitely learned a lot about certain characteristics that people with autism tend to have, which made it much easier to understand them and the way they interact with the world. Most of all, I really liked the narrator, and I really liked him explaining things that were interesting to him. I would recommend this book to any one wanting an easy but completely unique and not 'fluffy' read, especially while traveling.
    • 1/5
      It is remarkable how pliant the label Postmodern really is. As an English postgraduate students, in the late 80s, we read novels such as Waterland by Graham Swift or Money by Martin Amis as examples of postmodern fiction. These novels are still relatively traditional, in many ways, and at least they were very well-written. Apart from the fact that the label postmodern is not very descriptive, it now seems that any wacky novel, especially those featuring a wacky main character, are celebrated as postmodern novels. The unreliable narrator was a very interesting feature of novels in the twentieth century, but it is becoming a bit of a cliché.I am gradually reaching the point, helped much by LT tracking my progress and opinions, that most modern literature is not far removed from rubbish.
    • 4/5
      V4, P3"...I don't know what father means when he says, "Stay out of other people's business," because I do not know what he means by "other people's business" because I do lots of things with other people, in school and in the shop and on the bus, and his job is going into other people's houses and fixing their boilers and their heating. And all of these things are other people's business." (29)This is a great story, written from the perspective of a boy with autism. I'd like to see more books by actual autistic authors, as it would help to inform as to if the voice in books such as this one are written with an accurate voice. Still, the book is a very successful attempt to show the world from the view of a kid who thinks and acts differently and shows a clear picture of how it might feel to be stared at or talked down to, etc. I personally really liked the book to about when he got to his mother's in London and then I started to get bored, as the tone seems to focus less on differences and more about how he is adjusting and fitting in. Some kids never fit in, and I worry that giving every tale of disability a happy ending is a false representation of life.
    • 5/5
      Haddon’s 15-year old Christopher Boone is one of the most unique and engaging protagonists I have encountered in many years. Despite his overwhelming fear of interacting with people, Christopher, a mathematically gifted autistic boy, decides to investigate the murder of a neighbor’s dog in the spirit of his literary hero, Sherlock Holmes. Inspired by his teacher, Siobhan, to write a story about his adventures, Christopher embarks on an amazing journey of self-discovery that culminates in the revelation of a profound family secret, one that turns his already complicated and insular world upside down. Haddon paints a picture of Christopher that is so convincing and believable, I was shocked to find that he admittedly knows little about autism, which, in my opinion, makes the book even more astonishing. An example of how Christopher’s mind works:I cannot tell jokes because I do not understand them. Here is a joke, as an example. It is one of Father’s His face was drawn but the curtains were realI know why this is meant to be funny. I asked. It is because drawn has three meanings, and they are 1) drawn with a pencil, 2) exhausted, and 3) pulled across a window, and meaning 1 refers to both the face and the curtains, meaning 2 refers only to the face, and meaning 3 refers only to the curtains…It is like three people trying to talk to you at the same time about different things…And that is why there are no jokes in this book (p. 8).It is an illuminating work, heartbreaking, funny, and beautiful.
