This is a paperback book.
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is a murder mystery novel like no other. The detective, and narrator, is Christopher Boone. Christopher is fifteen and has Asperger's Syndrome. He knows a great deal about maths and very little about human beings. He loves lists, patterns and the truth. He hates the colours yellow and brown and being touched. He has never gone further than the end of the road on his own, but when he finds a neighbour's dog murdered he sets out on a terrifying journey which will turn his whole world upside down.

Finally released :-)
Finally released :-)
Found book from Luckan in Helsinki. I'm sure about that it have not been there two years, so it has had one or more anonymous readers. I have read this once in Finnish, but it was several years ago, so this was a good catch.
I'm not sure what to say about book. It was still OK to read, but isn't best book ever. I'll wild release book later.
Intresting story of teenaged boy who has his own, straight logic. Maybe we can learn something from his way of thinking.
I had loaned book to jussip and got book back. I'm going to release book next week.
