The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time

The multi-million-copy bestselling phenomenon, and a mystery story like no other. 'Brilliantly inventive . . . This isn't simply the most original novel I've read in years. It's also one of the best' The Times 'Outstanding' Observer 'A remarkable book' Time Out Christopher is fifteen and autistic. He knows a very great deal about maths and very little about human beings. He loves lists, patterns and the truth. He hates the colours yellow and brown and being touched. Christopher has never gone further than the end of the road on his own. But when he finds a neighbour's dog murdered, he sets out on a journey which will turn his whole world upside down. 'Exceptional by any standards . . . When we look at the world through Christopher's eyes we see it more clearly and understand ourselves better. What more could you want of a book?' Sunday Telegraph 'I have never read anything quite like Mark Haddon's funny and agonizingly honest book, or encountered a narrator more vivid and memorable. I advise you to buy two copies; you won't want to lend yours out' Arthur Golden
