Book 15/52: "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time" by Mark Haddon, 2/5 StarsUmmm, okay. Sure. Whatever. Although it might be wonderful insight into the mind of an Autistic teenager, it never struck me as having much interesting about it at all, aside from the near incident with the subway train. If you take it as wonderful insight and leave it at that--and that does it for you--then super. But, if you want something more from a book, then it really was 221 pages of randomness that leads up to the last seven words, "...and that means I can do anything." There's your message, folks. You can do anything. Fortunately, I already knew this, so it kinda made the 221 pages rather ho-hum.

This was one of those books I did not read expecting to get any great life affirming value out of, or connecting to the characters in a profound way. To me, it just offered interesting insight into an autistic mind AND how their families relate to them and the stress it puts everyone under. That part was interesting to me.
