'Lots of things are mysteries. But that doesn't mean there isn't an answer to them'
This is Christopher's murder mystery story. There are also no lies in this story because Christopher can't tell lies. Christopher does not like strangers or the colours yellow or brown or being touched. On the other hand, he knows all the countries in the world and their capital cities and every prime number up to 7507. When Christopher decides to find out who killed the neighbour's dog, his mystery story becomes more complicated than he could have ever predicted.

My Opinion
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time by Mark Haddon takes us into the mind of a child who thinks differently from others. At first I was not sure to read this book, but one of my book buddies suggested I read it. The plot has a little bit of mystery. Although some parts of the book are too stretched, it still turned out to be a nice book to read. The most interesting thing about the book is Christopher, the MMC, who is torn between his parents. At a point, I became so emotional for him, as he needs love and care, and people are just busy fighting. His emotional journey was the most beautiful thing in the book. The book deserves 5 stars.
