The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time (↑)

I've finished another book. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time which is by Mark Haddon. It's based in England, and is about an autistic boy who is trying to solve the murder of a neighbour's dog. 

It's really fascinating, because it let's you into the mind of an autistic child (he's not severely autistic mind you). Although the boy's physical age is 15, he acts like he's 7 or 8 years old. He is amazing at all things mathematical and scientific. It allowed me to realize that it can be very difficult to work with autistic children, and that you have to work around their quirks in order to have them do anything.

Anyway, all in all, I definitely recommend this novel to anyone who is fascinated by autism, or wants a good read.

Until next time! Happy Reading
