Interesting insights into the emotional world of the mentally ill

Who "Christopher Boone" (original title: The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time) by Mark Haddon liked, will like this book. It is exciting, romantic and despite the difficult theme a real "feel-good book".

The fact is interesting that you have a "normal" readers keep asking who now is it actually the mentally ill, because after four years discharged from a psychiatric institution Pat asks questions that are much more reasonable than what the express so-called "healthy".

The novel is consistently written from the perspective of Pat who recruits standing still under the influence of drugs with his parents again. Its primary objective is to take the relationship with his wife again. The reader suspects that this will be difficult, because these desires no contact. But Pat believes steadfastly to a "happy ending". The naivety of this stated objective does not lose sight of the patient is touching and funny at the same time. As a Besse Sener he trained to have an attractive body for Nikki. He lends stacks of books to read the most important classics, so that he can talk about literature with his intellectual woman. With a very sympathetic naiveté he commented this for the most part tragic and depressing novels and leaves the reader smile, who was himself confronted at school with some questionable literature selection.

Pat learns another "lost soul" know, the widowed Tiffany who annoys her dominant nature Pat and simultaneously also intrigued, but still an, albeit fragile, friendship can build.

Throughout history, the reader begins to realize firstly that Pat and Tiffany are not the only ones who have psychological problems and require treatment and, secondly, to become seriously worried, which is why the now "fond grown" Pat ever in the Pychiatrie had to be taken. This thriller even tension is maintained almost until the end.

Very great is also Pats therapist, he brought many "Schmunzelmomente".

All in all a "Feelgood Book" of special and quirky style!
