The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time is very curious indeed
This review is definitely mixed. Just as the book changes from plot to a math problem suddenly, that's how I feel about the book. The book, written from the perspective of an autistic 15 year old boy is so different from anything I've ever read. I love that it's different and I hate that it's different. (I have the same relationship with this book that I have with the movie "Gone with the Wind. I ...

Thicker than another version
Physically, this book is thicker and heavier than another edition of this book which has orange colored cover. With thicker and heavier paper, you'll get better quality paper. :-)

A book that gives you different point of view
This book is written in the point of view of Christopher, a boy with Asperger's Syndrome--a kind of autism. What is inside this book is really different than those fiction books I've ever read. Don't be surprised with the grammar and vocabulary used in this book as they are so simple and too detail. It is what on Christopher's mind. His left brain is dominant while his right brain, where the ...

Red Fox, 2004
"My memory is like a film. I press Rewind and Fast Forward."
Writing this first novel from the point of view of an autistic 15-year-old, Mark Haddon takes the reader into the chaos of autism and creates a character of such empathy that many readers will begin to feel for the first time what it is like to live a life in which there are no filters to eliminate or order the millions of pieces of information that come to us through our senses every instant of ...

The Legend of Mickey Tussler15 reviews

St. Martin's Press, 2008
Fantastic Book!
While reading The Legends of Mickey Tussler I never wanted to put it down. It's one of those books that you need to know whats going to happen to the characters, or what is going to happen next. Nappi's story about how a 17 year old with autism is brought into the game of baseball is exciting, but a little sad at times. Just picturing how this boy is able to pitch the way he does is incredible. ...

Extremely Raw - and a Super read
In a murder, there is usually one mystery to solve, even though plots are far-fetched and convoluted. This murder (of the dog mentioned in the title) has the actual killing, the highly involved world of the detective, and the question of whether "they all live happily ever after" to unravel.
I read this book on recommendation after hearing a very inspiring talk by a Danish gentleman at a ...

The Bookclub-in-a-Box Discussion Guide to the curious incident of the dog in the night-time, the novel by ...1 review
Marilyn Herbert
Bookclub-in-a-Box, 2005
Get more out of the "Curious Incident" by opening the "box"
When I suggested "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" as the required summer reading for my campus's new freshmen, I unwittingly committed myself to teaching the group discussion leaders how to review the book. I had lots of ideas, thankfully, but when I discovered the Bookclub-in-a-Box available for Mark Haddon's outstanding novel, I was (appropriately) curious. I'm happy to say ...

Fantastic
This book is a book that all teachers should read! Really lets you look into the mind of an autistic child. I could see some of my previous students and now understand better why they were the way they were.

Random House Audiobooks, 2004
A wonderfully funny and poignant story
NOTE: This review is based on reading the book, not listening to the audio version.
In the second chapter of this book (actually labelled as "3" because this is the second prime number), we are introduced to Christopher, the narrator, who is writing a mystery novel as a class project. Christopher is an extremely intelligent 15-year old who just happens to be autistic. He begins his tale by ...

Magical, Suspenceful, Scary and Fun!!
This is a page turner; a great story that focuses on 12 year old Lilly! She's magical, because she was always surrounded by Magic. It would make a really cool movie. I liked the characters, even the "Pit Bull". Is this Harriet Potter? Just kidding.
