The Curious Incident of the Dog in Night -Time

Loved this book.

A funny 'murder mystery', in which the victim is a standard poodle and the detective is a socially inept autistic boy who claims not to be funny or like jokes, but nonetheless narrates an ironically funny story. I especially enjoyed the treatment of the boy (Christopher); the author characterized autism with a matter-of-fact, 'it is what it is' attitude that made Christopher even more likable.
