Re: Books: What are you reading tonight?

I also have "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" due for Tuesday. I read that today in one sitting. I really only thought it was "okay" but it was enjoyable on enough of a level that I kept reading. It was really interesting to see the narration from such a different tone (the kid is autistic).
Keep reading gents and ladies.

Read this a few years ago. The novelty of the narration wore off quickly with me and the rest of the book seemed very mediocre.

The novelty wore off for me too, at least to the point where I was no longer wowed by it. And yes, the rest of the book did seem pretty...bleh. I gave it 3/5* on Amazon and the other reviewers, on the whole, loved the heck out of this book. I don't get it.
We'll be discussing it the next two days in class, maybe I can understand why people love it so much.
