In a world of unreliable narrators, enter Christoper, one of the most honest and straight-forward narrators you will ever likely read. Told from the viewpoint of a 15-year-old boy on the autism spectrum, events of this murder mystery are conveyed in a very logical and concise manner. And it is so very exciting.

One thing that The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time captures so well, is the thought process of someone trying to make sense of a complex, illogical, and scary world. This is a struggle that all humans face, especially as they enter their teen years.

Unlike so many coming-of-age stories though, Christopher has a firm understanding of exactly who he is and what he wants. His internal conflict stems from navigating a world where people comprehend and communicate in ways that are inherently different from his own experience.

This is a great read, I would definitely recommend it to just about anyone. It is a solid 4 stars (sorry this is not a prime number).
