The Curious Incident of the dog in the Night-time ♥♥♥♥


A very enjoyable book! If you've read the Catcher in the Rye and liked it then you'll like this book too because they are a little similar but this book is a little more fun. Starts off when the boy finds the neighbor's dog has been killed with a pitch fork straight into the dog's body....poor dog :( The boy doesn't want to stop investigating who was responsible for this, he goes through some adventures in his neighborhood, asking question to his neighbors, re-visiting the scene of the dog crime and so on. His dad is not happy about him doing that and has asked him several times to stop doing detective work. But the boy just finds a way around what his dad said and continues on. Like the character in Catcher in the Rye, this boy is quite hard to please , he doesn't like certain things, like yellow or to be touched ...not even by his parents... yeah but overall good book :)
