Book Review!

           The Curious Incident of the Dog In The Night-time is about a teenage boy with a disability called Aspergers which is a form of autism. He can't tell emotions when it comes to facial expressions. Christopher has to go around his town trying to figure out who killed Wellington, a neighbors pet dog. Throughout the book, Christopher's father is trying to restrict him from bothering people looking for the killer of the dog. Even though his father told Christopher to stop, he goes behing his fathers back to write about his experiences and find the killer.
          I think this book was a little hard to understand in a way but it made alot of good points. Christopher has to mature through the book and learn about growing up. It was probably just harder to understand the book because of how Christopher is trying to write it. He changes the subject alot and jumps from thought to thought then back again to what he was originally talking about.
          I think the ending was kind of what I expected but not fully. I figured from the beginning who killed the dog, but I didn't really suspect the relationship between the mother and Mr. Sheers. I don't like how the father lied to Christopher about it. Yes, it was wrong of the mother, but she tried to communicate with Christopher. I do however like how Christopher makes it on his own to find his mother and learns about growing up throughout his quest. I think the author could of changes somethings to make it a little more interesting for the reader to enjoy.
        Even though I didn't get into the book a whole lot, it did have a good theme and meaning. Even though Christopher has his disabilities, he pulled through and took a big step in his life to grow up. He solved one of his goals: who killed Wellington. He grew up, and found out the truth about what really happened to his mother. In the beginning you never really would see Christopher on his own or traveling further than his own town, but he did it. He finally learned that he could do things by himself and accomplish his goals.
