The book has gotten better and better by the page, which is a good thing cause I love books that keep their readers in suspense and not just lose it after a while. The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time has kept me in such suspense I can't stop reading it. Now that Christopher is going on an adventure to London, I wonder what's going to happen. I think that he might have made the right choice of going to London to live with his mother and I wonder how much things will change once they meet up again after such a long time.

I think The Curious Incident Of The dog In The Night-Time, by Mark Haddon is amazingly suspensive because all the things that have been going on in the book. I really think that there will be soooo much to happen in the book with the decesion of Christopher going to London and live with his mother. I wonder what's going to happen next.

A passage from pages 131-132 that seems important is: "And then I thought of how I could never be an astronaut because being an astronaut meant being hundreds of thousands of miles away from home, and my home was in London now and that was about 100 miles away, which was more than 1,000 times nearer than my home would be if I was in space, and thinking about this made me hurt." I think this is very strong because it shows that he really wants to be something he likes when he grows up, but he can't because he doesn't like being away from home.

Another part that I touching was: "I'm going to live with my mother because Father killed Wellington and he lied and I'm frightened to being in the house with him." This is an example of something important in this book. It shows that Christopher is really confused and it also shows the fear that he has towards his Father after everything that had happened between Christopher and his father.

This section of The Curious Incident of The Dog In The Night-Time reminds me of something that happened to me. One time, my friend had ran away from her house and told me not to let anyone know where she was going to. I stayed quiet and then the police was searching for her trying to find her. When the police did find her, she got into major trouble and said she would never do it again.

What's probably going to happen next is that Christopher will probably go to London and make his way there, and maybe even see his mother for the first time after such a long time.

I am looking forward to reading the rest of this book because it's at a really crucial part and the book just gets better and better by the moment. ^.^
