Surprising, engaging read - [09 Feb 2010]
I was surprised at how much I loved this book, and how engaging it was. Full disclosure: I am sick to death of all the books about autism out there, and I'm tired of having it crammed down my throat. To find this book, though, was a pleasant surprise....

I felt like I was reading a required High school book - [06 Feb 2010]
It was just a bit slow and a bit to easy of a read for me. I found it hard to relate to the characters as it was a bit extreme. I also found it to be very unrealistic and I don't think that the author put too much thought into how this kids life would...

Wonderful read - [30 Jan 2010]
Really well done involving story. Suitable for any age group. Anyone who deals with autistic/Aspergers or other perception "disorders" would find this interesting and valuable.

Probably More Clever Than Great - [26 Jan 2010]
Since there have been hundreds of reviews already, I won't bother recapping the plot here. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time is certainly an original work, and while Haddon does a convincing job of channeling the voice of an autistic 1...

must read - [24 Jan 2010]
It was well written and a must if you have someone with special needs in your life. We often wonder what they are thinking if they can't fully express themselves. While everyone is different it breaks you out of your perspective and allows you to imagine...
