The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time: Mark Haddon

Christopher’s investigation of Wellington’s murder leads him to uncover a number of secrets about his parents, causing him to lose his trust in Father and to set out to London in search of Mother.

Personally, i didnt like this book, because i thought it was too weird.

The Struggle to Become Independent; Subjectivity; the Disorder of Life; Coping with Loss.

Christopher John Francis Boone speaks in the first person. We are to understand the book as his written account of the murder of his neighbor’s dog, Wellington. Structurally, the novel alternates between a chapter advancing the narrative, and a chapter in which Christopher discusses ideas or concepts worth noting.

Setting - 1998, In and around Swindon, England, with a trip to London, England.

I do not recommend this book.
