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
Here's what I liked about this book, and I know it'll make you want to punch me. I read it right in the middle of my Twilight binge. It was taking me for.e.ver. to get through the Twilight books, and I feared I had become a slow reader. That is until I picked up TCIOTDITN and I read it in a day and a half. I hadn't become a slow reader, Twilight just sucked. ;) Teehehe.
ReplyDeleteBut, Life of Pi is AWESOME! I think it's slow at times, but it was such a beautiful story, so colorful and so well written. Can't wait to hear what you think!
i read this book in the hotel when you got married. it was good but that's the major thing i remember about it. :)
