redwell 's review for:
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
by Mark Haddon
I thought this would be a light noir novel based on title alone. It's definitely not that. Inhabits a weird space between YA and adult literature as far as content goes. Written from the vantage of a headspace like Joyce Carol Oate's Zombie with computerized rationale instead of schizophrenic mania driving it. Maybe not the best look for autistic people, and their computational utility is too often the focus of these stories anyway, but it's at least interesting to consider.
The tension towards the back half is redeeming, and there isn't exactly a neat ethic to everything. It's a little tragic, a little bittersweet. Good enough for a teenager, but I wouldn't want them to think of autistic people in this light. Adults should probably respect themselves a little more than to bother with this anyway. Whatever. It's light and quick. Reading is reading.
