The curious incident of the dog in the night-time.

Last year I read a book called "The curious incident of the dog in the night-time" by Mark Haddon.
I was ordered to read it, so I didn't feel very well about the book; actually I don't like reading for obligation. That's why I started it without enthusiasm, but at the end I have to admit that it really like me.
The book is about a dog's murder, but this incident is investigated by a child with Asperger's Syndrome. Christopher ir really good at maths and logical thoughts, but he don't manage with human being and all they thoughts or characteristics. Due to this he has lots of problems with his class mates or neighbours.
While he is investigating the murder, we know his personality and the reasons why he acts that way. Finally, the murder is solved but Christopher finds out that his live isn't like he though.

 I really like the book because is very surprising and the main character isn't the typical one. While I was reading "The curious incident of the dog in the night-time” I realized that it was becoming a famous book and all the people was reading it. Apart from that, it has a lot of good critics by "Sunday Telegraph”, “Guardian" or even "Independent"; in fact is the winner of the Whitbread book of the year.
   May be all this prices and critics don't make you read it, because sometimes we don't like a film or a book that is prize-winner, but I strongly recommend it. I'm sure you spend a great time with Christopher!!!
So, enjoy it!
