W. had to say...LAST BOOK I READ:
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon
Comment: Fiction. * * * . Remarkable book wherein a young autustic boy narrates his search for the killer of a neighborhood dog. His "detecting" begins to unravel other unexpected unrelated secrets.
The author convincingly conveys how an autistic mind could operate; grasping onto math, facts and figures for security. It is a poignant, charming little book. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
