The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night - Time Part One

Dear Lit-Circle Member which is only Linde,

"the curious incident of the dog in the night-time" is one of strangest books I have ever read. The story tells about a little boy named Christopher John Francis Boone. He discovers one day that someone killed his neighbor's dog. He is a rather clever and observant. I thought that story had a interesting plot to it because it was more of a detective based story line. What I thought was weird about this book was the fact that the chapters are all prime numbers. I don't yet if it has anything to do with the story line but I think it is some what important because Christopher memorized all the prime numbers.

Christopher's personality is very strange because he is the innocent type where we usually always follows directions if not he would bend the rules a bit to his liking. Christopher is trying to find the murder of his neighbor's dog and this might also tie in with the fact that his mom died. Christopher is also going around asking people and his current suspect is Mr.Shears. Mr.Shears is his suspect because he was married to Mrs.Shears at one point and to make her made he might have killed Wellington, her dog. For some reason Christopher's dad seems to be always mad when Christopher tries to uncover the secret. I think that there is a relationship between him and Mrs.Shears and possibly Mr.Shear because he used to be married to her.

Something I really didn't like about this book was how it was formatted. Every other chapter it goes back into the story line but if it is not on the story line it talks about Christopher's personality and his Mom. I think that there will be a part where the author, Mark Haddon, will tie the two stories together.
So what do you think about the two stories? Do you think they will come together?
