The Curious Case of the dog in the night-time

   The book The Curious Case of the dog in the night-time was about a boy named Christopher Boone, who is autistic, when he found a dog named Wellington murdered in Mrs. Shear's, the dog’s owner, garden. Christopher, who loves dogs, walks over to it to hold it as he starts to fell incredibly dismal. He then vows to find Wellington’s murderer but, later on His father finds out that Christopher is looking into the murder and tells him to stop. Why does Christopher’s father want him to stop investigating Wellington’s murder?

   This is the start of the book and as I read if found it to become even more mysterious. The main plot is written very well and hides from sight for the beginning of the book. As the novel progressed the main plot shows its colors and shocks anyone who is fortunate enough to read this book. I find the book to be an overall great book. There are just some things I didn’t get. Why did Christopher’s father act the way he did towards Wellington? I mean what did the dog do to deserve that? The other thing that confused me was why did Mr. Boone keep violently attacking Christopher? Mr. Boone knows that Christopher doesn’t like to be touched at all, let alone hurting him like he did, I just couldn’t get it.
