The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time

The novel has been very interesting so far. In all the books I've ever read, the main character has never had autism, and until I read this book, I honestly didn't know what autism was. I think it’s cool that we get to read it from Christopher’s point of view and we get to see how his brain works and how he thinks, and why he reacts to things the way he does. I’ve never dealt with a person who had autism, but from what I learned from reading this book, it seems hard. It must be very difficult for Christopher’s dad because if Christopher is having a bad day, he shuts everyone out completely and the dad can’t even hug him because he doesn’t like to be touched. Christopher‘s main goal so far in this story is to find out who killed Wellington. Wellington was a dog owned by Mrs.Shears, Christophers neighbour. My guess is that Mr.Shears killed the dog because he knew that Mrs.Shears loved him and he did it for revenge. When Christopher’s mother died, Mrs.Shears used to stay the night sometimes and maybe she developed a relationship with his father. After finding out about this, Mr.Shears was angry and he left her. But to get the ultimate revenge on her, he killed the one thing he knew she loved a lot which was the dog. I think as the story goes on, we will learn more and more about their lives, and hopefully by the end we found out who the killer is. The book is surprisingly enjoyable and I can’t wait to read more!
