When I first read this a few years ago, I really enjoyed it but I didn't know anyone with autism so I couldn't completely relate. Now, just a few years later, I know quite a few children with autism. This gave me a whole new perspective when reading it this time. I thought this book was extremely well written - it truly seemed like we were in Christopher's mind. Such a great quick read!

Is a "studying fiend" the same as a "reading fiend"? I think so!
Did you read Haddon's other novel "A spot of bother"? I liked it just as well as dog in the night-time.
Ooh, I've never heard of this but I'm "curious" to read it. Especially being back at work with lots of kids on the spectrum.
I haven't read that yet, Matthew. I'm looking forward to checking it out!
Sarah - I really think you'll enjoy this one. Plus it's a quick read.
