The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time is very interesting ever since I started to read it. I like this book because it's so fascinating how a boy with mental problems can be very intelligent. This book shows that anything is possible in this world. Even if the book is fiction, I would say that's it's not possible for someone to be this bright with mental problems, and there have been such cases except the experiences might have been different. So maybe there can be such individuals out there and that makes me feel normal because we're all humans and this is what should bring us together.

I think The Curious Dog Incindent in The Night-Time, by Mark Haddon is very fascinating because I think that it's sad when you hear about someone's death and the saddest part is that Christopher's mother had an affair with Mr.Shears and that just changes the mood of the story.

A passage from page 73 that seems important is: "I also like The Hound of the Baskervilles because I like Sherlock Holmes and I think that if I were a proper detective hes is the kind of detective I would be." I think this is a little descriptive because this shows his likings and how it would be if he was the one being the detective. I guess that he might look up to Sherlock Holmes because of their similar style of how they would botyh work.

Another part that made me think was: "And this is like me, too, because if I really get interested in something, like practicing maths, or reading a book about the Apollo missions or great white sharks, I don't notice anything else and Father can be calling me to come and eat my supper and I won't hear him." This is an example of something important in this book. It shows himself a little more and how he acts when he is doing something. This gives you more of a field of what he does to concentrate during something that he finds interesting.

This section of The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time reminds me of something that happened to me. One time I was reading a book that was so interesting to me. I liked the book sooooo much that I did hear my mom calling me to eat dinner and yes I responded back, it ends up with me getting in trouble for not going to eat dinner and it was all thanks to the book.

What's probably going to happen next is that Christopher might tell more to himself about how he is and what he will do next to find out who the killer of Wellington is.

I am looking forward to reading the rest of this book because this book interests me so much just to read about this mistery story and find out who killed Wellington although I do feel that I am far away from finding out just yet.
