The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

Christopher John Francis Boone knows all the countries of the world and their capitals and every prime number up to 7,057. He relates well to animals but has no understanding of human emotions. He cannot stand to be touched. And he detests the color yellow.
This improbable story of Christopher’s quest to investigate the suspicious death of a neighborhood dog makes for one of the most captivating, unusual, and widely heralded novels in recent years.

I liked this book. I've read other people comment that there were things in the book that aren't realistic for a person with autism. I still believed in the characters.

Extraordinary book. It's an excellent novel, and it's also an education in how autism changes one's perception of the world.
