According to his biography Mark Haddon has spent several years working with disabled children, in that he will know what possibly in a child with Asperger's Syndrome is going on. Because the protagonist of this book, which was translated into German as the weak stock "Super Good Days" (meaning an entire major cargo Sir Arthur Conan Doyle overboard), is autistic. Highly intelligent, but maladjusted. Haddon manages to show us a one sometimes disturbing but usually rather endearing look of the eyes of Christopher Boone. The book, despite the fact that the plot in front of him hinplätschert some wonderful sequences that are either wonderfully bizarre and rambling and clearly reminiscent of Nicholson Baker's The Everlasting Story of Nory optional quite work out quite transparent, in Christopher hyper focused-naive worldview also beautiful insights ,
Bit lengthy is the book in Boones trip to London, which is listed not only in detail, almost tiring (you will be towards the end help feeling not that the plot arg sags and the author tries to stall a bit pages), but also places has where you can get almost too much pre-delivers a kind of cinematic transposition of the substance. The spot where Christopher is nearly run over by a train, had a decent editing to talk to the author about flat. But apart from this "Action" sequence the book is adorable, exciting, never really stupid or too flat, and a warm, even warm-hearted reading, not least a plea for understanding and tolerance. As terrible as it sounds The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime is 224 pages also weggelesen absolutely fast, a real feel-good book.
