Written by Mark Haddon, the book is designed as the diary entries of an autistic boy, living with a single parent. He starts writing the entries after a curious incident happens in the neighbourhood - where his neighbour's dog is killed and he is held as suspect because the neighbour saw him peering over the dead body of her pet.
Even though he is brought away by his father, he harps on trying to find out who the killer. The diary goes on to show things that happened in his life and how he reacts to certain things and what he views and thinks of things.
Read the book to find out who the killer of the dog and how come his father is single. It was very interesting viewpoint of how autism affects individuals and what happens in their minds. The author works with autistic individuals and has brought out a good flavour of what actually would have happened in the life of an autistic individual. Definitely a good read. Thanks to ST for recommending it to me...
