4.0
Interested in stories that begins with one plot but then adds another? How about a mystery? Or a story about deception and a loss mother? This is exactly what The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is all about and more! This story start out with a math and science smart, autistic boy named Christopher investigating the murder of a dog. Not only is he determined to find out who killed the dog, but at the same time he must write a book for school. Little does he know that this book will get him involved in the mystery of his supposedly dead mother.
This is a great book to read especially if you want to look at life from the eyes of someone else. As the story progresses the author immerses the reader in the life of Christopher so that the reader understands the problems that Christopher has to go through. There is in-depth detail of what goes through Christopher's head so that the reader truly understands the situation. This story is also great if you don’t mind learning a little math while reading a story as Christopher relates math problems to his life situations.
If you like this book then you may also like The Stranger. The Stranger is about an existentialist man who doesn't care about life. His mother dies and he’s indifferent to her death. As the story goes on he reflects back on his life and becomes a little more open as a person.

They both have to go through difficulties in their life and aren't truly understanded by others. They also both don't like to be around people and in uncomfortable situations.
