The curious case of the dog in the nighttime.

This book is apparently about a dog that is killed and how Christopher, a young boy with autism, finds out who killed him. Along the way he finds out a lot of information about his family and what really happened to it.

This book is well written but I don’t really feel anything amazing about it. The narrator is incredible and relays [or so I think] how it is not to have feelings. Good enough the narration may be but it doesn’t captivate me thanks to that. When there are feelings it is easier to relate to something.
Christopher can’t feel, he only sees and observes details and what happens around him.
I think I might even get a little desperate if I cared about someone who doesn’t have feelings.
