The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-time
(Haddon, Mark)

Publicidade
15 year old Christopher Boone finds a neighbour?s poodle, Wellington, dead - pinned to the ground by the prongs of a garden fork. Written in the first person Christopher describes the events of the following months in what he believes to be an unfolding detective story as he resolves to find out WHO KILLED WELLINGTON. It becomes clear almost immediately that Christopher is not only autistic but autistic of the variety that possesses genius in logic while remaining seriously devoid of normal emotionality. He also has some fairly debilitating obsessions such as an abhorrence for all things brown or yellow. The book is a fascinating un-put-down-able read affording amazing insight not only into the inner world of children with this disability but also, by means of Christopher?s razor sharp and unswervingly honest observational powers the book exposes just how self serving and hypocritical some parental behaviour typical in contemporary Britain is. We are given a glimpse of the pro?s and con?s of Special Needs Schools from the view point of a pupil. The book describes Christopher?s terrifying (for him) journey by train and tube from Swindon to London that he has to make alone and the incredible lengths he needs to go to in order to accomplish this. This is juxtaposed by an account of his almost insurmountable confidence and then the seemingly effortless ease with which he excels in his Maths A level exams which his father had to fight his school to let him sit - Christopher being the first child at the school ever to do the exam. It is the exposition of both the strengths and weaknesses in each of all its central characters that gives this book an authentic feel despite taking the reader through very strange territory in terms of its subject matter.
