The curious incident of the dog in nighttime

My sister got me this book for my birthday.

Living in the world of someone who is autistic is by turns fascinating and frustrating. The amount of detail experienced by the main character is enlightening, and it is fascinating to watch him process that information. However, towards the end I experience impatience with all the detail and just wanted to get to the point.

But that was the point–understanding the world of autism. This is still a light mystery novel–and I mean that in the best possible way. It doesn’t tax too much, it’s interesting, and in the last third it’s quite a pageturner.

A fun, quick read. Recommended.
