This really should have been a DNF for me...

This is not a mystery book like I was lead to believe. The murderer of the dog confesses it about halfway through the book. I really enjoyed seeing everything through Christoper's eyes and how the world relates to him. However, after the reveal, it turns into a family drama. It completely lost me at that point. Due to the way it is written, I was not able to connect to the situations or issues and it just fell flat at that point.

I gave it 2 stars because I did genuinely enjoy the first half of the book.

Review of 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time' on 'Goodreads'

Do you know what it's like to be Asperger's? Through this reading you can open the door to the concept. I cannot judge whether the portrait is good; in any case, it is still an introduction. But beware, it's a novel. Simple, but at the same time profound, it does not convey anger, but detects it and visualizes it through a rogue immersed in a world that neither understands nor understands it, but is used so that we can begin that understanding.
