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
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
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
Brilliantly empathetic. Believe the hype: a brilliant, heart-warming book
Scotsman
A remarkable book. An impressive achievement and a rewarding read
Time Out
Outstanding. Heartening as well as richly entertaining. A stunningly good read
Independent
Superbly realised. A funny as well as a sad book. Brilliant
Guardian
Exceptional by any standards. Both funny and deeply moving
Sunday Telegraph
A deservedly acclaimed read.
Time Out London
Wondrous...brilliantly inventive...dazzling. Not simply the most original novel I've read in years - it's also one of the best
The Times
a compelling adaptation
Daily Telegraph
The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night Time is an extraordinary novel about a bot with asperger's syndrome, a mild form of autism. Like Dustin Hoffman's in Rain Man, the narrator is a simpleton who actually has deeper insights than the rest of us. Beautifully read by a young actor called Ben Tibber in a precise but affecting voice, this is the oddest, most poignant audio book you'll find this year.
