Were you "curious" by the "incident?"

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon is a very moving book about a boy named Christopher John Francis Boone who suffers from Asperger’s Syndrome. Throughout the novel, we follow him as he tries to find the murderer of his neighbor’s dog, Wellington.  While searching for the murderer, Christopher decides to write a murder mystery novel, which happens to be what we are supposed to be reading.  Due to the fact that Christopher is the narrator of this book, we have the opportunity to see the world through his eyes and we are given a chance to understand what it is like to live with a disease like Asperger’s Syndrome
