We just finish reading a book called “The Curious Incident of the dog in the Night-time” by Mark Haddon. I really liked this book; it is about an autistic boy that insisted in discovered who was the one who killed Wellington which was the neighbor’s dog. When he was investigating about this murder he found out things that he shouldn’t know. This autistic boy called Christopher lived with his father because his mother left him alone and went to live to London with the neighbor’s husband. It is a mystery book because it doesn’t tell who really killed the dog until the last pages. I would recommend this book firstly because it is interesting and it is not boring and also because it is easy to understand so you don’t have to think a lot of what happened. The father lost Christopher’s trust because Christopher insisted in knowing the truth and this brought consequences that affected everybody. What really happened was that the mother left the father alone with Christopher; because she didn’t have the patient that is needed to raise an autistic boy like him. The father told Christopher that mother was dead; because he didn’t know how to tell him that she left without making him suffer and also he hid some letters that the mother has sent to him. He also confessed that he killed Wellington the dog because he confused the relationship between the neighbor and him; he thought that the neighbor preferred the dog before of him and Christopher so he killed it. It is a book that can show you that the autistic people can see the world from a different perspective that we do. Also we can learn from it that running from our problems is not a solution and that is better to face it before it gets bigger and bigger every day.
