    The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, by Mark Haddon, relies on the narration of a fifteen year old autistic boy to tell a simple yet convoluted story of murder, betrayal and triumph. At first thought, Christopher Boone, would not seem to be a reliable narrator yet Haddon asks the reader to take a leap of faith by believing in Christopher's abilities despite the limitations of autism. Using Christopher's point of view, straightforward and honest narrative diction, imagery as well as the physical images Christopher draws, Haddon approaches many questions in his writing.
