The Curious Incident of the dog in the Night

This book is not like anything i have ever read, which is definitely refreshing! It takes place in england and the narrator of the story is a boy with some brain disorder but because he is telling the story he doesn't quite know what it is. But you can tell its there because he throws tantrums and doesn't understand certain things.
He really makes you feel grateful that you are not like him because simple things like not liking the colors brow and yellow and refusing to eat foods that touch each other on the plate are things that we would never think twice about but he focuses serious mental energy on these little things.

Also the book does not start out with the happy lets all sing together style. In the beginning of the story i actually had to skip part of it because there is a dead dog. It is unpleasant but so are multiple parts of this book. Sometimes i just want to transport myself just so i can give this kid a hug or just explain some simple details of life to him that he just can not comprehend.

In the book he is writing a mystery story trying to track down who killed the dog that we talked about at the beginning of the story. But when his dad finds out that he has continued to investigate even after he told him not to (he only lives with his dad) and him and his dad get into a big fight and his brain kinda goes blank and when he gathers himself back together he can't find his story. So he searches all over his house everywhere except his room and is dads room. It was common sense not to hide his OWN book in his room so he decided to check his dads room even though his dad told him not to. Lets face it this is for a good cause. He was very careful not to move much around but when he was almost ready to give up he saw... THE BOX! he opened the box very carefully and looked inside, not only was his book there but so were a whole bunch of letters addressed to him! Turns out they were from his mom who is supposed to be dead...

I won't say anymore, sorry gotta wait until next week but I'm just as excited to read this book as you are to find out what happens next. This book is really good and i will recommend it to anyone who doesn't mid a little discomfort while reading and who enjoys a slight half way mystery (not quite a mystery but sorta is).
