Readers say Mark Haddon's *The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time* offers a creative, sensitive portrayal of its neurodivergent protagonist...
I realize a lot of people love this book, which is why we selected it for book club. However, this book started strong and then just died. There's no story here. The plot of shaky at best. I didn't like the single character. I don't know why people like this book. I can't even say the writing is any better than the short choppy sentences in this review.
I thought this book was really well written. Not only was the main character really different, but the plot itself was really unique. I barely put it down I enjoyed it so much.
THIS BOOK IS SOOOO GOOD OMG
It's one of the feel-good books!
I read this all in one sitting (could NOT put it down)
Didn’t hate this book but also don’t understand why it’s rated as highly as it is
I give props to the author for creativity and sensitivity in creating Christopher. I know he did very little research on ASD before writing this book, but he used his past experiences with neurodivergent individuals and i think that makes it better. Christopher has a lot of depth whereas most neurodivergent characters I’ve read can be flat.
