The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime

I have been trying to get through this book since the beginning of summer. It is a hard read. It is a book of fiction, but written from the point of view of a 15 year old boy with autism. The chapters are prime numbers...2,3, 5,7,11,etc.

The blurb front the back cover:

Christopher John Francis Boone knows all the countries of the world and their capitals and every prime number up tp 7.057. He relats well to animals but has no understanding of human emotions. He cannot stand to be touched. And he detests the color yellow.

This improbable story of Christopher's quest to investigate the suspicious death of a neighborhood dog makes fir one of the most captivating, unusual, and widely heralded novels in recent years.

I recommend this book, even though it is difficult. I have read a bit and then put it on the shelf, read something else and come back to it. Now I need to finish it for a book review in my Autism Spectrum course.
