Have You Read this Book?
I'm sure most people will have heard of it. The book is called
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" and was written by a man called Mark Haddon.
It is about a 15-year-old boy with Asperger's Syndrome (similar to Autism) who finds a dead dog and decides to solve the mystery of it's murder.
Very funny and sad.
If you have read it, what do you think?

Read it, lent it to my fiance, lent it to his mom, taught a bit in class...
It's a good read, especially the "quest" sequence in which Christopher leaves home. Makes you think about how something so simple and everyday can be absolutely terrifying if you have no grasp of how the world works.
Was anyone else confused by all the maths parts? :(

We're supposed to be. He's a savant -- genius in that part of his intellect, absolutely unable to interface with other humans-- like when he tried to get Siohab to draw what people's expressions mean.

It sounds very interesting, but I keep thinking what an interesting, albeit stereotyped, storyline it'd make if the main character had Tourette's syndrome.
Think about it. Every time he tries to tell anyone about it or ask a crucial question, he blurts out embarrassing stuff.

The book was good, but towards the end he just sounded younger and younger in my opinion.
