The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time-mark haddon

The story was narrated through the eyes of a boy with Asperger's syndrome. Quite a fun read. It all began with a neighbour's dog being murdered and the blame being put on Christopher. And so he began his detective work and to write his story. Dad got furious when he found out that Christopher had been bothering the neighbours just so he could write his detective story. In a rage, he hid Chris' book. Chris began hunting for his book and chanced upon a whole bunch of letters that were addressed to him from his mother.
He had been told by his father that his mom had died of a heart attack but the letters told a different story. Chris found out that his mom had been living in London with the neighbour's ex husband.
Chris decided to up and leave for London and thus began his terrifying (for someone who couldn't stand crowds, yellow things, chaos) journey.
It was rather interesting to read how everyday simple things that we take for granted for, could prove to be challenging for others with psychological barriers.
Wouldn't say I love this book but entertaining read nonetheless.
