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 ...

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 ...

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. :-) About the story in this book; It 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. ...

A Fairy Tale explained
Night Dance is an interesting tale of the 12 Dancing Princesses combined with the legend of King Arthur. It takes on the more modern version of the fairy tale with the one armed soldier ending up with the princess, but the tale itself becomes more explained. It gives a reason why the father locked up the daughters and how the island came to be, though the ending seems a little rushed. It better ...

Suspense
It was full of suspense. I could not wait to see what happened or who was behind everything. It is a twist you will enjoy.

"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 ...

An amazingly accurate portrayal of a person with Asperger's.
I was amazed to find that Haddon doesn't actually have Asperger's. His portrayal is spot on. A fascinating and accurate look into the thought processes and experiences of a person with Asperger's.

Xlibris Corporation, 2005

Five stars for the content, three for the editing
I read a lot of the passages in the KISS Album Focus when it was an online feature of the old KISS Asylum site. I loved the stuff then, I love it now. In terms of sheer volume of information, this is probably the most comprehensive KISS book on the market. The truths behind some well-known KISS myths are explored (debunking many in the process). Julian Gill, who put this together, is ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scholastic Press, 2004

A Captivating Bedtime Book
While many children's bedtime books are trite and redundant, every now and then you find one that's unique. "Polar Bear Night" is one of those books, and it immediately became a favorite of both kids and adults in our house. It has a sparse visual style that's also very interesting - much more like retro graphic design than typical children's illustration. Still, the animal characters are ...
