By Mark HaddonGood, but not my favorite.
This book has been on my reading list for awhile now, and I'm glad I read it. I did, however, get a small amount of bored near the middle.
Because I'm such a procrastinator as soon as I put a goal on this years reading I started to slow down. I'm not sure if it's because of the book, or because of my own lack of motivation when it comes to completing tasks I assign myself.
That's not to say The Curious Incident wasn't a good read; it was. I just didn't find myself unable to put it down.
Set out to find who killed his neighbors dog, Christopher a teenager who has the social capacity of a child begins writing a detective novel to solve the crime and along the way solves a few mysteries in his own life. A math genius who does equations in his head to stay calm, he barks at the touch of a stranger, out runs the police, and still makes it back to Swindon in time to take his level A Maths.
It's definitely a character driven book; not so much a heart-pounder, but I still recommend.
Next up: Life of Pi
