“ Wondrous...brilliantly inventive...dazzling. Not simply the most original novel I've read in years - it's also one of the best ”
The Times
“ Exceptional by any standards. Both funny and deeply moving ”
Sunday Telegraph
“ Outstanding. Heartening as well as richly entertaining. A stunningly good read ”
Independent
“ Superbly realised. A funny as well as a sad book. Brilliant ”
Guardian
“ A remarkable book. An impressive achievement and a rewarding read ”
Time Out
“ A magical book. It's one of those books that makes you feel as though you have been on an emotional rollercoaster. ”
Carrie Grant, Sunday Express
“ Brilliantly empathetic. Believe the hype: a brilliant, heart-warming book ”
Scotsman
“ In telling a painful story in the voice of a 15-year-old boy with Asperger's, Haddon broadens ordinary minds and helps to understand how they work, too. ”
Daily Telegraph
“ Mark Haddon's portrayal of an emotionally dissociated mind is a superb achievement. He is a wise and bleakly funny writer with rare gifts of empathy ”
Ian McEwan
“ I have never read anything quite like Mark Haddon's funny and agonizingly honest book, or encountered a narrator more vivid and memorable. I advise you to buy two copies; you won't want to lend yours out ”
Arthur Golden, author of 'Memoirs of a Geisha'
“ Original, moving and entertaining for adults as well as for older children ”
Julia Donaldson, Daily Express
“ A delightful and brilliant book. Very moving, very plausible and very funny ”
Oliver Sacks
“ A beautifully written book. Haddon is to be congratulated for imagining a new kind of hero, for the humbling instruction this warm and often funny novel offers and for showing that the best lives are lived where difference is cherished ”
Daily Telegraph
“ To get an idea of what The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is like, think of The Sound and the Fury crossed with The Catcher in the Rye and one of Oliver Sacks's real-life stories ”
New York Times
“ A deservedly acclaimed read. ”
