The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

I just completed The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. I was skeptical about it; I'm not entirely sure why, but I really enjoyed it. It reminded me of one of my favorite young adult books (who am I kidding--one of my favorite books, period), I Am the Cheese. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is in the voice of an autistic young man, though he never uses the term to describe himself. It's a great read, without pandering to its protagonist or the reader.
