Summary
Christopher is 15 and lives in Swindon with his father。 He has Asperger's Syndrome， a form of autism。 He is obsessed with maths， science and Sherlock Holmes but finds it hard to understand other people。 When he discovers a dead dog on a neighbour's lawn he decides to solve the mystery and write a detective thriller about it。 As in all good detective stories， however， the more he unearths， the deeper the mystery gets - for both Christopher and the rest of his family。

Utterly atrocious。 The author is not autistic， and the character he has written is a hollow， contrived， frankly offensive and inaccurate imitation of autism。 It portrays the main character as some unfeeling， unloving， irredeemable machine （the character repeatedly compares himself to a machine） and depicts him as seemingly incapable of human emotion。 I talked with my partner who is autistic about this book and some of my gripes and we both agreed it's a good example of why the autistic community Utterly atrocious。 The author is not autistic， and the character he has written is a hollow， contrived， frankly offensive and inaccurate imitation of autism。 It portrays the main character as some unfeeling， unloving， irredeemable machine （the character repeatedly compares himself to a machine） and depicts him as seemingly incapable of human emotion。 I talked with my partner who is autistic about this book and some of my gripes and we both agreed it's a good example of why the autistic community says "nothing about us without us，" because this book propagates the idea that autistic people are violent， unfeeling， uncaring callous machines。 It's bizarre and upsetting that the book is so critically acclaimed。 It seems that neurotypical people are holding it up as a shining example of diversity and insight into an autistic person's mind， but in reality the character is a shallow， caricature of what autism can look like on the outside， without truly decoding the feelings and the person on the inside。 。。。more

Christopher is。。。a challenging character。 I did have my suspicions as to who killed Wellington and I was correct。 However， the way the readers finds out who murdered the dog is lackluster and not done in a clever way。 It was disappointing that this was done during the first half of the book。 There were definitely some surprises， which was nice and carried the story forward。 I'm not sure how I feel about the ending。 I was thinking it would be more of a mystery novel but it turns out it's more abo Christopher is。。。a challenging character。 I did have my suspicions as to who killed Wellington and I was correct。 However， the way the readers finds out who murdered the dog is lackluster and not done in a clever way。 It was disappointing that this was done during the first half of the book。 There were definitely some surprises， which was nice and carried the story forward。 I'm not sure how I feel about the ending。 I was thinking it would be more of a mystery novel but it turns out it's more about the complexities of life and human emotions。I hate it when people spoil books and so I must end my review here。 。。。more

Probably one of the most unique books I have ever read。 It is brilliant！ An incredible fiction idea no one has ever thought of before。 And it's funny and cute。 So I loved it and I think you will too。 Probably one of the most unique books I have ever read。 It is brilliant！ An incredible fiction idea no one has ever thought of before。 And it's funny and cute。 So I loved it and I think you will too。 。。。more

Wellington was dead， to begin with。 And this is what seems to cause all the trouble。 This is a smart and unusual book， witty and warm。 It is well-known enough for me to dispense with plot summary， but the fact that the main narrator is autistic is the most extraordinary and revealing thing。 A superb and troubling book， but also full of charm， wit and hope。

I'm glad I finally got around to reading The Curious Incident of the Dog In the Night-time after having it on my bookshelf for at least five years。 I saw the play in Melbourne a few years ago but still long enough to not remember specific detail although I knew the general plot line。 I can see why this book was and remains a regular fixture on 'to read' lists。 Although Christopher's experiences may be exaggerated he and his family feel real and it is interesting to read about significant events I'm glad I finally got around to reading The Curious Incident of the Dog In the Night-time after having it on my bookshelf for at least five years。 I saw the play in Melbourne a few years ago but still long enough to not remember specific detail although I knew the general plot line。 I can see why this book was and remains a regular fixture on 'to read' lists。 Although Christopher's experiences may be exaggerated he and his family feel real and it is interesting to read about significant events （and not so significant events） in his life the way he describes them。 I think the world is probably more aware of neurodiversity than it was when The Curious Incident of the Dog In the Night-time was published but it is a good story about thriving in the world in your own way。 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 This book was bizarre from the start。 I only gave it 2 stars bc the main character， who is autistic， had to go through some shit （like his Dad lying and saying his mom died when she really just had an affair with the guy across the street and moved a few hours away） and it was a bit sad。 Not my cup of tea and definitely in the minority here。

Christopher es un chico con Asperger o alguna condición dentro del espectro autista， y es realmente precioso observar sus procesos cognitivos， las soluciones que encuentra para sobrellevar ciertas incomodidades， la pasión con la que trabaja las materias que le gustan， lo rico que es su mundo interior y su compasión por los animales。 Leer es siempre adoptar una nueva forma de mirar y este libro ofrece una perspectiva invaluable sobre el modo de ver el mundo de un cerebro atípico。

I did not expect to like it with a 4 starts after reading some reviews on it but aha！ It got really philosophical at some point which is why I dug it。 Also， I thoroughly enjoyed Christopher's way of viewing life-- I am not sure if the Asperger Syndrome depicted in this book is accurate， but nevertheless I came out of it learning plenty。 I did not expect to like it with a 4 starts after reading some reviews on it but aha！ It got really philosophical at some point which is why I dug it。 Also， I thoroughly enjoyed Christopher's way of viewing life-- I am not sure if the Asperger Syndrome depicted in this book is accurate， but nevertheless I came out of it learning plenty。 。。。more

young boy with autism， who stumbles upon a murdered dog and during his investigation must step out of his comfort zone to solve the mystery。 In doing so he discovers that his life so far has been a lie but that he is capable of achieving more than he believed possible; his mother is not dead but lives with another man in London， his father was the one who killed the dog， and Christopher can write a book and excel in math and physics。It was 7 minutes after midnight。 The dog was lying on the grass in the middle of the lawn in front of Mrs。 Shears's house。 Its eyes were closed。 It looked as if it was running on its side， the way dogs run when they think they are chasing a cat in a dream。 But the dog was not running or asleep。 The dog was dead。 There was a garden fork sticking out of the dog。 The points of the fork must have gone all the way through the dog and into the ground because the fork had not fallen over。 I decided that the dog was probably killed with the fork because I could not see any other wounds in the dog and I do not think you would stick a garden fork into a dog after it had died for some other reason， like cancer， for example， or a road accident。 But I could not be certain about this。My name is Christopher John Francis Boone。 I know all the countries of the world and their capital cities and every prime number up to 7，057。I had been hugging the dog for 4 minutes when I heard screaming。 I looked up and saw Mrs。 Shears running toward me from the patio。 She was wearing pajamas and a housecoat。 Her toenails were painted bright pink and she had no shoes on。 She was shouting， "What in fuck's name have you done to my dog？"The policeman took hold of my arm and lifted me onto my feet。 I didn't like him touching me like this。 And this is when I hit him。Prime numbers are what is left when you have taken all the patterns away。 I think prime numbers are like life。 They are very logical but you could never work out the rules， even if you spent all your time thinking about them。I do not tell lies。 Mother used to say that this was be cause I was a good person。 But it is not because I am a good per son。 It is because I can't tell lies。I said， "I didn't kill the dog。" And he said， "I know。" Then he said， "Christopher， you have to stay out of trouble， I said， "I didn't know I was going to get into trouble。 I like Wellington and I went to say hello to him， but I didn't know that someone had killed him。" Father said， "Just try and keep your nose out of other people's business。" I thought for a little and I said， "I am going to find out who killed Wellington。" And Father said， "Were you listening to what I was saying， Christopher？"And I said， "I promise。" Because if Mrs。 Alexander told me who killed Wellington， or she told me that Mr。 Shears had killed Mother， I could still go to the police and tell them because you are allowed to break a promise if someone has committed a crime and you know about it。 And Mrs。 Alexander said， "Your mother， before she died， was very good friends with Mr。 Shears。" And I said， "I know。" And she said， "No， Christopher。 I'm not sure that you do。 I mean that they were very good friends。 Very， very good friends。" I thought about this for a while and said， "Do you mean that they were doing sex？" And Mrs。 Alexander said， "Yes， Christopher。 That is what I mean。It was 5:54 p。m。 when Father came back into the living room。 He said， "What is this？" but he said it very quietly and I didn't realize that he was angry because he wasn't shouting。 He was holding the book in his right hand。 I said， "It's a book I'm writing。" And he said， "Is this true？ Did you talk to Mrs。 Alexander？" He said this very quietly as well， so I still didn’t realized that he was angry。 And I said， "Yes。" Then he said， "Holy fucking Jesus， Christopher。 How stupid are you？"Then I heard Father shutting the door of the van。 And that was when I saw the envelope。 It was an envelope addressed to me and it was lying under book in the shirt box with some other envelopes。 I picked it my up。 It had never been opened。 It said Christopher Boone 36 Randolph Street Swindon Wiltshire。 Then I noticed that there were lots of other envelopes and they were all addressed to me。 And this was interesting and con fusing。 And then I noticed how the words Christopher and Swindon were written。 I only know 3 people who do little circles instead of dots over the letter i。 And one of them is Siobhan， and one of them was Mr。 Loxely， who used to teach at the school， and one of them was Mother。Which meant that the letter was posted on 16 October 1997， which was 18 months after Mother had died。 And then the door of my bedroom opened and Father said， "What are you doing？" I said， "I'm reading a letter。"And I remember that night I just cried and cried and cried and your father was really nice about it at first and he made you supper and he put you to bed and he said these things happen and it would be OK。 But I said I couldn't take it anymore and eventually he got really cross and he told me I was being stupid and said I should pull myself together and I hit him， which was wrong， I was so upset。 But We had a lot of argumants like that。 Because I often thought I couldn't take any more。 And your father is really pacient but I'm not， I get cross， even though I don't mean too。 And by the end we stopped talking to each other very much because we knew it would always end up in an argumant and it would go nowere。 And I felt realy lonley。 And that was when I started spending lots of time with Roger。 I mean obviously we had always spent lots of time with Roger and Eileen。 But I started seeing Roger on his own because I could talk to him。 He was the only person I could really talk to。 And when I was with him I didn't feel lonley anymore… And you didn't shout at one another。 And it made me so sad because it was like you didn't really need me at all。 And somehow that was even worse than you and me arguing all the time because it was like I was invisible。 And I think that was when I realized you and your father were probably better off if I wasn't living in the house。 Then he would only have one person to look after instead of two。You have to know that I am going to tell you the truth from now on。 About everything。 Because。。。if you don't tell the truth now， then later on。。。 later on it hurts even more。 So。。。" Father rubbed his face with his hands and pulled his chin down with his fingers and stared at the wall。 I could see him out of the corner of my eye。 And he said， "I killed Wellington， Christopher。"But then Father said， "Please。 Christopher。 Just。。。 let me "Then he sucked in some air and he said， "When your explain。" mum left。。。 Eileen。。。 Mrs。 Shears。。。 she was very good to us。 Very good to me。 She helped me through a very difficult time。 And I'm not sure I would have made it without her。 Well， you know how she was round here most days。 Helping out with the cooking and the cleaning。 Popping over to see if we were OK， if we needed anything。。。 I thought。。。 Well。。。 Shit， Christopher， I'm trying to keep this simple。。。 I thought she might carry on coming over。 I thought。。。 and maybe I was being stupid。。。 I thought she might。。。 eventually。。。 want to move in here。 Or that we might move into her house。 We。。。we got on really， really well。 I thought we were friends。 And I guess I thought wrong。 I guess。。。 in the end。。。 it comes down to。。。Shit。。。 We argued， Christopher， and 。。。 She said some things I'm not going to say to you because they're not nice， but they hurt， but。。。 I think she cared more for that bloody dog than for me， for us。I stayed awake until 3:47。 That was the last time I looked at my watch before I fell asleep。 It has a luminous face and lights up if you press a button， so I could read it in the dark。 I was cold and I was frightened Father might come out and find me。 But I felt safer in the garden because I was hidden。And then I thought that I could go and live with Mother because she was my family and I knew where she lived because I could remember the address from the letters， which was 451c Chapter Road， London NW2 5NG。 Except that she lived in London and I'd never been to London before。 And I had never been anywhere apart from the shop at the end of the road on my own。 And the thought of going somewhere on my own was frightening。 And I didn't say anything。 And he said， "We've got your father at the police station。" And I thought he was going to say that they had arrested Father for killing Wellington， but he didn't。 He said， "He's looking for you。" And I said， "I know。" And he said， "So， why are you going to London？" And I said， "Because I'm going to live with Mother。" And he said， "Well， I think your father might have something to say about that。"And I said， "I'm going to live with Mother， in London。 And he said， "Not just yet you're not。" And I said， "Have you arrested Father？" And he said， "Arrested him？ What for？" And I said， “He killed a dog。 With a garden fork。 The dog was called Wellington。”And Siobhan says people go on holidays to see new things and relax， but it wouldn't make me relaxed and you can see new things by looking at earth under a microscope or drawing the shape of the solid made when 3 circular rods of equal thickness intersect at right angles。 And I think that there are so many things just in one house that it would take years to think about all of them properly。 And also， a thing is interesting because of thinking about it and not because of being new。So I decided to wait and I hoped that Mother was not on holiday because that would mean she could be away for more than a whole week， but I tried not to think about this because I couldn't go back to Swindon。 So I sat down on the ground behind the dustbins in the little garden that was in front of 451c Chapter Road， London NW2 5NG， and it was under a big bush。And then it started to rain and I got wet and I started shivering because I was cold。 And then it was 11:32 p。m。 and I heard voices of people walking along the street。 And a voice said， "I don't care whether you thought it was funny or not，" and it was a lady's voice。 And another voice said， "Judy， look。 I'm sorry， OK，" and it was a man's voice。 And the other voice， which was the lady's voice， said， "Well， perhaps you should have thought about that before you made me look like a complete idiot。" And the lady's voice was Mother's voice。 And Mother came into the garden and Mr。 Shears was with her， and the other voice was his。 So I stood up and I said， "You weren't in， so I waited for you。" And Mother said， "Christopher。"And Mr。 Shears said， "What？" And Mother put her arms around me and said， "Christopher， Christopher， Christopher。" And I pushed her away because she was grabbing me and I didn't like it， and I pushed really hard and I fell over。 And Mr。 Shears said， "What the hell is going on？" And Mother said， "I'm so sorry， Christopher。 I forgot。" And I was lying on the ground and Mother held up her right hand and spread her fingers out in a fan so that I could touch her fingers， but then I saw that Toby had escaped out of my pockets so I had to catch him。 And Mr。 Shears said， "I suppose this means Ed's here。"And he said， "Why did you run away？" And I said， "Because Father killed Wellington， who is a dog， and I was frightened of him。" And he said， "So I've been told。" And then he said， "Do you want to go back to Swindon to your father or do you want to stay here？" And I said， "I want to stay here。" And he said， "And how do you feel about that？" And I said， "I want to stay here。" And the policeman said， "Hang on。 I'm asking your mother。" And Mother said， "He told Christopher I was dead。" And the policeman said， "OK， let's。。。 let's not get into an argument about who said what here。 I just want to know whether- " And Mother said， "Of course he can stay。" And then the policeman said， "Well， I think that probably settles it as far as I'm concerned。"And I said， "I have to go back to Swindon。"And Mother said， "Christopher， you've only just got here。" And I said， "I have to go back because I have to sit my maths A level。" And Mother said， "You're doing maths A level？" And I said， "Yes。 I'm taking it on Wednesday and Thursday and Friday next week。" And Mother said， "God。" And I said， "The Reverend Peters is going to be the invigilator。" And Mother said， "I mean， that's really good。" And I said， "I'm going to get an A grade。 And that's why I have to go back to Swindon。 Except I don't want to see Father。 So I have to go to Swindon with you。"And in the afternoon Mother took me to Hampstead Heath in a taxi and we sat on the top of a hill and looked at the planes coming into Heathrow Airport in the distance。 And I had a red ice lolly from an ice cream van。 And Mother said she had rung Mrs。 Gascoyne and told her that I was going to take my maths A level next year， so I threw my red ice lolly away and I screamed for a long time and the pain in my chest hurt so much that it was hard to breathe and a man came up and asked if I was OK and Mother said， "Well， what does it look like to you？" and he went away。And then it was Monday。 And it was very late at night and Mr。 Shears came into my room and woke me up and he had been drinking beer because he smelled like Father did when he had been drinking beer with Rhodri。 And he said， "You think you're so fucking clever， don't you。 Don't you ever， ever think about other people for one second， eh？ Well， I bet you're really pleased with yourself now， aren't you。" And then Mother came in and pulled him out of the room and said， "Christopher， I'm sorry。 I'm really， really sorry。" The next morning， after Mr。 Shears had gone to work， Mother packed lots of her clothes into two suitcases and told me to come downstairs and bring Toby and get into the car。 And she put the suitcases into the boot and we drove off。 But it was Mr。 Shears's car and I said， "Are you stealing the car？"And after lunch Siobhan said that she had spoken to Mrs。 Gascoyne and she still had my A-level papers in 3 sealed envelopes in her desk。 So I asked if I could still do my A level。 And Siobhan said， "I think so。And when I opened the paper and read through it I couldn't think how to answer any of the questions and also I couldn't breathe properly。 And I wanted to hit somebody or stab them with my Swiss Army knife， but there wasn't anyone to hit or stab with my Swiss Army knife except the Reverend Peters and he was very tall and if I hit him or stabbed him with my Swiss Army knife he wouldn't be my invigilator for the rest of the exam。 So I took deep breaths like Siobhan said I should doSo I sat on the sofa and he sat on the armchair and Mother was in the hallway and Father said， "Christopher， look。。。 Things can't go on like this。 I don't know about you， but this。。。 this just hurts too much。 You being in the house but refusing to talk to me。。。 You have to learn to trust me。。。 And I don't care how long it takes 。。。 If it's a minute one day and two minutes the next and three minutes the next and it takes years I don't care。 Because this is important。 This is more important than anything else。"And then he said， "Let's call it。。。 let's call it a project。 A project we have to do together。 You have to spend more time with me。 And I。。。 I have to show you that you can trust me。 And it will be difficult at first because。。。 because it's a difficult project。 But it will get better。 I promise。" Then he rubbed the sides of his forehead with his finger tips， and he said， "You don't have to say anything， not right now。 You just have to think about it。 And， um。。。 I've got you a present。 To show you that I really mean what I say。 And to say sorry。 And because 。。。 well， you'll see what I mean。" Then he got out of the armchair and he walked over to the kitchen door and opened it and there was a big cardboard box on the floor and there was a blanket in it and he bent down and put his hands inside the box and he took a little sandy-colored dog out。And I got the results of my maths A level and I got an A grade， which is the best resultI don't like London and there are universities in lots of places and not all of them are in big cities。 And I can live in a flat with a garden and a proper toilet。 And I can take Sandy and my computer and my books。 And then I will get a First Class Honors degree and I will become a scientist。 And I know I can do this because I went to London on my own， and because I solved the mystery of Who Killed Wellington？ and I found my mother and I was brave and I wrote a book and that means I can do anything。 。。。more
