Synopsis: A bestselling modern classic—both poignant and funny—about a boy with autism who sets out to solve the murder of a neighbor's dog and discovers unexpected truths about himself and the world.

Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read

Christopher John Francis Boone knows all the countries of the world and their capitals and every prime number up to 7,057. He relates well to animals but has no understanding of human emotions. He cannot stand to be touched. And he detests the color yellow.

This improbable story of Christopher's quest to investigate the suspicious death of a neighborhood dog makes for one of the most captivating, unusual, and widely heralded novels in recent years.

What genre is The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time (play).

Is The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night

In 2003, Haddon published The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, his first foray into adult fiction. The book follows Christopher John Francis Boone, a young boy whose symptoms and behavior suggest he has a mild form of autism, perhaps Asperger's Syndrome.

What is the style of The Curious Incident?

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is written in the first-person point of view. Christopher Boone acts as both the protagonist and the narrator of the novel, meaning the reader experiences the story from his point of view.

Is the curious incident is a sad story?

Yes, it is funny-sad. But a great read. It was an interesting story and unique in its style but I didn't find it earth-shattering like so many others did. As much good as I heard about this book I could not finish it.
