What do you guys think of the Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time?

[dratsab]

It's my favorite fiction book. I love the introspective scenes.

[cacian]

a curious title indeed.
why is it your favourite?
it is interesting that it is fiction because the condition the fifteen year old suffers is not.

I really enjoyed it when I read it. It is quite an easy read. Whether it realistically portrays the thinking of a autistic boy, I couldn't say, but it seems so.

Having heard much hype, when I finally got round to reading it I found it rather over-rated. Not bad by any measure, but it made very little impression on me. One instance in which a clever idea can't quite make up for a pedestrian execution.

[Will Leafe]

I thought it was fantastic, and that it engaged the reader's sympathy very well through the innocence of the way in which events are portrayed. My favourite element was the chapter numbers - I thought that was a nice little feature of the author's work.

I liked it a lot. I found it very endearing.

[petermcelwee]

I did not like it at all. Dull story and the only interesting aspect is that the main character is mentally handicapped.

Another one which suffered at my hands from over-hype, unfortunately. Huge potential when it came to the narrative, great idea, but just fell short in execution for me.
