14 Aug 2006 Rory’s Book Club Review: The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time
 |  Category: Book Reviews

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time (Vintage Contemporaries) I’m sarcastic, or as I like to call it Saracastic (cause my name is Sara), and I make fun of stuff or hate things, it’s what I do. However, I hearted this book. Books like “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time” by Mark-Haddon are why reading was invented. This has so far been my favorite book from Rory’s book club. This is a book that I will buy as it needs to be read over and over again. I keep a journal of all my favorite life changing quotes from the books that Rory reads, I had to stop during this book because it was basically becoming a transcription. This book is about an autistic youth trying to find his way in the world, and includes the most precious definition of love I’ve ever heard. The only drawback to this book was that there was some strong language, therefore making it inappropriate for certain age groups or convictions, but I wouldn’t let that stop you on this. “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time” should be required reading for the human race. By the time I finished this book I wanted to kiss the picture of Mark Haddon on the dust jacket. Thank you Mr. Haddon for your contribution to the world.  When I get really excited about something I type in one long paragraph, does it show? Want to join Rory’s Book club?
