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.
