Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,865
A bag of chips. That's all 16-year-old Rashad is looking for at the corner bodega. What he finds instead is a fist-happy cop, Paul Galluzzo, who mistakes Rashad for a shoplifter, mistakes Rashad's pleadings that he's stolen nothing for belligerence, mistakes Rashad's resistance to leave the bodega as resisting arrest, mistakes Rashad's every flinch at every punch the cop throws as further resistance and refusal to STAY STILL as ordered.

George Hall is an unobtrusive man. A little distant, perhaps, a little cautious, not quite at ease with the emotional demands of fatherhood or of manly bonhomie. “The secret of contentment, George felt, lay in ignoring many things completely.” Some things in life can’t be ignored, however: his tempestuous daughter Katie’s deeply inappropriate boyfriend Ray, for instance, or the sudden appearance of a red circular rash on his hip.

Critic reviews
- Alex Award Winner, 2004
"The novel brims with touching, ironic humor. The result is an eye-opening work in a unique and compelling literary voice." (Publishers Weekly)
"Fresh and inventive." (Booklist)
"Smart, honest and wrenching....Will quickly hook you in." (San Francisco Chronicle)
"Gloriously eccentric and wonderfully intelligent." (The Boston Globe)
Editorial Review
Mark Haddon’s engrossing and intensely human novel about an autistic boy investigating the murder of a neighbor’s dog remains one of my favorite feats of storytelling. And I consider myself especially fortunate to have experienced it for the first time in audio. Award-winning narrator Jeff Woodman masterfully captures Christopher’s youth, intelligence and disarming directness, employing a detached delivery that conveys his condition while hinting at a rich emotional life that lays just underneath. It’s a beautifully nuanced performance that’s authentic, effortless, and deeply affecting.

With an eye for rendering the timely in a timeless way and enchanting audiences with lyrical prose and grace, Ali Smith's ambitious Seasonal Quartet—a series of four stand-alone novels, separate but interconnected—artfully guided us through #MeToo, Brexit, the refugee crisis, a global pandemic, and more. Now, Smith's highly anticipated Companion Piece looks to the future and builds upon this "time-sensitive project". This new novel stands apart from the Quartet, which remains discrete unto itself.

Now, her sudden return and the mind-bending tale of where she’s been will challenge our very perception of the truth.

Tara’s story just does not add up.

Michael Chabon masterfully renders the funny, tender, and captivating first-person narrative of Art Bechstein, whose confusion and heartache echo the tones of literary forebears like The Catcher in the Rye's Holden Caulfield and The Great Gatsby's Nick Carraway. The Mysteries of Pittsburgh incontrovertibly established Chabon as a powerful force in contemporary fiction, even before his Pulitzer Prize-winning The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay. An unforgettable story of coming of age in America, it is also an essential milestone in American fiction.

On the eve of her ninth birthday, unassuming Rose Edelstein, a girl at the periphery of schoolyard games and her distracted parents’ attention, bites into her mother’s homemade lemon-chocolate cake and discovers she has a magical gift: she can taste her mother’s emotions in the cake. She discovers this gift to her horror, for her mother—her cheerful, good-with-crafts, can-do mother—tastes of despair and desperation. Suddenly, and for the rest of her life, food becomes a peril and a threat to Rose.

An Intense Listen into the World of Being Different
A very unusual read. At times I cried with tears streaming down my face. Then I laughed out loud. This is a highly touching story that gives insight into the world of being different from others. It is extremely thought provoking and well worth the time to experience it.

Can't praise this highly enough. Awesome
Any additional comments?
Written in the voice of a teenager with high level autism spectrum disorder (formerly known as Asperger's Syndrome), this amazing book captures the thinking process and sentence structure so well that it is spot on.
I am a psychiatrist as well as an avid reader. The merger of a mystery story, a psychological portrait, and a moral tale was carried out so well that I use this story in some of the seminars I teach. Yet for those who read it solely for entertainment will also find it truly remarkable.
Special congratulations go to Jeff Woodman whose narration was outstanding.

great story, interesting perspective
I loved this story. Christopher's world is an interesting place. It was such a wonderful way to learn how those who live in their own minds navigate the world with, and without grace, and manage to learn from those they trust to survive a life of contradictions.

Great Reading of This Book!
Wow wow wow, the narration on this is one of my biggest takeaways. Jeff Woodman does a great job of reading in Christopher's unique voice. The story was fantastic, too. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this and would recommend it - especially for someone looking for a bit of a quicker read!

A great first audiobook
What made the experience of listening to The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time the most enjoyable?
The narrator really brought life to the character of Christopher Boone. As Mr. Woodman read the book, I could picture Christopher in my mind, saying the things that Mr. Woodman read. Mr. Woodman carried the book, making it interesting from beginning to end.
What did you like best about this story?
The story is told from the point of a view of an autistic child. The reader gets a pretty good look at how wonderful (and quirky) these children/adults are. Sometimes I wish I were as observant and clever as Christopher is.
Which scene was your favorite?
Christopher describing his experience in the train station.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Yes, when Christopher and his father reunited at the end of the book.
Any additional comments?
A wonderful, engrossing first audio book. I was disappointed when it ended.

A curious story
I listened to the book in preparation for seeing it on stage and it intrigues me think how they stage it. It's an engaging story, well told.

An intriguing tale
I found this book to be engrossing, especially in its characterization of an (apparently) autistic boy. The author occasionally wanders a bit too far into esoteric detail, but this is forgivable. The narrator is not outstanding, but is "transparent" which is the next best thing in my opinion.
