About this listen
"The dog was lying on the grass in the middle of the lawn in front of Mrs Shears' house. It looked as if it was running on its side, the way dogs run when they think they are chasing a cat in a dream. But the dog was not running or asleep. The dog was dead. There was a garden fork sticking out of the dog."
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is a murder mystery novel like no other. The detective, and narrator, is Christopher Boone. Christopher is fifteen and has Asperger's, a form of autism. He knows a very great deal about maths and very little about human beings. He loves lists, patterns, and the truth. He hates the colours yellow and brown and being touched. He has never gone further than the end of the road on his own, but when he finds a neighbour's dog murdered he sets out on a terrifying journey which will turn his whole world upside down.
Please Note: this title starts at Chapter 2. The main character has a preference for prime numbers, so he numbers his chapters according to primes: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11 etc.

Bird's3 Eye View
Wonderfully articulated description of life's perspective from Christopher who sees and experiences the world in an entirely different manner than me.

Good book, dramatisation not fitting
If you could sum up The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time (Dramatised) in three words, what would they be?
This book is great, but sadly choice of narrator is debatable. Main character's 15 years old, while narrotor makes it sound as if he was 10, and it changes overall feel of the story.

Yndislestur
Skemmtileg og áhugaverð bók um 15 ára strák með Asperger heilkennið. Hundur nágrannans er drepinn og strákurinn er staðráðinn í að leysa ráðgátuna. Hann lendir í ýmsum aðstæðum sem eru mjög krefjandi fyrir hann.
Lesandinn gerir þessu mjög góð skil.
Þægileg og létt bók.

A deep and moving story
This book is about much more than it seems at first blush. It’s both a heart wrenching and ultimately heartwarming tale about how different we are, and yet how much the same.
It’s also about how we all strive to find our way (like the protagonist), often starting with a strong sense of where we are going, but then ending up someplace else.
In the end, it’s the journey and the strength of the human spirit that matters.
I recommend this book (which frankly I bought on a whim, and was much surprised by) for anyone who wants an engaging story, and who is ok with some occasional hard questions as it progresses. It’s very special.
