Response to The Curious incident of the dog in the night-time

The Curious incident of the dog in the night-time was a good read. I really like how Christopher took a lot of his quests on by himself. He branched out from his father and his mother. It was not his fault about his Mother though. I did not like that his Father deceieved him into thinking that his mother died of a heart problem. He should had just told Christopher the truth from the beginning.

Throughout the book you can really see how Christopher struggles with people socially. I understand how his Mother had such a short temper because it would be hard to deal with it day in and day out. But it was no reason to flee Swindon to escape reality. But in the end it caught up with her when Christopher made the journey to London by himself. Although he did still scream whenever he was touched throughout his trip to London, he generally kept it toigether. I did not agree with his decisoin to jump after Toby on to the train tracks when a train was coming in.

When Christopher reached London i was actually suprised on how well his mother reacted to his presence. She really treated him very well. When they came back from London i was happy when his Father said she couldnt move back in. I wouldnt let someone who cheated on me back in my house.

It was very shocking to find out that Christopher's Father actually killed Wellington. I did not see that coming at all. This book did a very good job of suprising me and giving me things i did not expect was going to happen. His Father did a good job by starting a new "project" with Christopher. When he bought him that dog it showed Christopher that his Father cared.

Overall this book is a very interestiong and good read. I would without a doubt reccomend it to another to read. For the time you are reading it you are seing what life is life through someone who has Aspergers syndrome. It was never boring and always kept me thinking about what was going to happen next. I would have never expected at the begginging of the book that Christopher would accomplish so much. I cant stress the fact enough that this book always had moments that i did not see coming. It helped me keep an interest in the book.
