The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon

I just finished listening to the audio edition of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon.

The novel is narrated by a 15-year-old boy with autism or Asperberger Syndrome. His difficulty understanding other people's emotions is a powerful literary device for viewing the messy emotional lives of the people around him. I enjoyed this book very much and highly recommend it.
