The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon
mysterious
reflective
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

I think a refreshing read after so many back to back books about theory and art culture. Those are not books i can read 100 pages in a sitting. Not even 50 or 20 sometimes. I didnt realize how extreme the fatigue and digestion were
I thought this book would be a little bit more refreshing in terms of the current dialogue around autism, but hey, I think it does a lot for the year it came out. Maybe i feel this way because there is a lot for me to resonate with christopher and not a lot of it feels like its very nuancing. There were also parts where i felt polarized from christopher. I guess thats the point. Im not sure if this book was written for allistics or autistics. I feel like the former
