I think The Curious Incident of the Dog int he Night-Time, by Mark Haddon is getting better because new things are happpening. Also there is more interesting stuff to going on with him and he's writting more stuff that actually makes sense to me.

A passage from pages 77-89 that seems important is: "So I hit him,like I hit the policeman when he took hold of my arms and lifted me onto my feet. But Father didn't let go, and he was shouting. And I hit him again." I think this is important because this part that I read was mainly about that. He hit his father twice. I really thought that he would never do such thing especially because he is his father.

Another part that I was surprised about was: "These are some reasons why I hate yellow and brown;Custard, Bananas, sweet corn(because it comes out in your poo and you don't digest it so you are not really meant to eat it,like grass or leaves.)." This is an example of something important in this book. It shows that he thinks too deep into stuff. He is really samr and it shows that his thinking is different.

This section of The Curious Incident of the Dog int he Night-Time reminds me of something that happened to me. One time my cousin was mad at his mom because she wouldn't let him  go out. They got into a big argument. My aunt slapped him and he pushed her and walked away. I was so surprised that he did this to her because I would never thought my cousin would do that.

What's probably going to happen next is that he is going to investigate a little bit more about the dog. He is going to find a way to find information without breaking the rules that his dad told him to follow.

I am looking forward to reading the rest of this book because it's getting better. I like it so far so I want to see what happens next.

This book keeps the suspense

This book keeps the suspense going on at all times even through a part that might not seem as important and that's what makes this book very interesting. I like this book a lot and you never know, it could even end up as being my favorite book. This book is a very interesting story and I like how it talks about a situation that can happen to people, and that's what makes it special. =)

yeah I agree with you. I
