Christopher John Francis Boone knows all the countries of the world and their capitals and every prime up to 7,057. He relates well to animals simply has no agreement of human emotions. He cannot stand to be touched. And he detests the color yellowish.

Book Review: The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Fourth dimension
A generally light-hearted novel told from the perspective of Christopher Boone, a teenage boy with autism. A lovely autistic teenage boy (Christopher) with an incredible talent for math and a gifted logical brain which is amazingly observant of every lilliputian details effectually, is our hero in this book. He'southward afraid of talking to strangers, existence put in unknown situations, being touched and lacks the proper intuition about others that many "normal people" take for granted. He loves timetables, dogs, rats, prime numbers and Sherlock Holmes and he hates metaphors (not similes!), noisy places and yellow and brown colors.
"I recollect prime numbers are like life. They are very logical but yous could never piece of work out the rules, even if you lot spent all your time thinking nigh them"
The story of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Fourth dimension begins by Christopher chronicling his investigation of who killed his neighbor'southward dog. Merely, a huge discovery along the way causes for Christopher to investigate something more scandalous. Christopher is so determined to rail down somebody who he is more interested in coming together.
The plot is interesting, unique and eye wrenching. Reading the things that this boy does and says and thinks is such a different feel. Through Christopher, the primary character, we get a sense of feeling from the people he writes nearly. He writes about the characters reactions, and through that, we can imagine their feelings.
"Sometimes we get lamentable nigh things and we don't like to tell other people that we are distressing about them. We similar to keep information technology a secret. Or sometimes, nosotros are distressing but we really don't know why we are sad, then we say we aren't sad but we really are."
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Dark-Time is written skilfully. The capacity are written on seemingly unrelated topics sometimes, just equally, I imagine, an autistic person would write. The sentences are very much like the title. Haddon's phrasing, descriptions, idea, and speech communication as Christopher often made me cease and reread what I simply read.
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Fourth dimension solves the mystery of a modest incident in life and leaves the states questioning the bigger unsolved mystery of existence such a complicated animal. Also emphasizes how very small things in life are actually the almost of import ones that keep the states alive within and make our lives worth living. (sorry for the platitude). The part that moved me most was the part where both parents repeatedly express their pain for non being able to hug their child..
"I retrieve people believe in heaven because they don't like the idea of dying, because they want to carry on living and they don't like the idea that other people will motility into their house and put their things into the rubbish."
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Fourth dimension offers a big insight into the listen of someone with autism. The story is told by a quirky narrative which details random facts, stories and opinions of Christopher, and how he best explains the reasons for his odd habits and behavior. This novel demonstrates some good introspection by the character of Christopher, and features his neat attempts to improve his social skills and his understanding of other people.
