Surfergirl suggests Haddon's "A Spot of Bother," which I'm going to try to find. I typed Haddon's name into paperbackswap.com and bookmooch.com and the only things that came up were childrens' books.

I think I finished it the same day I bought it. I have recommended this book to countless of people. Every single time I read the book, it always made me sad but at the same time, uplifted. <br />Thanks for your comment on my blog. It was much appreciated. Glad to know there is another Mark Haddon fan!AL LEEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16949387502490194998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34552407.post-26848361956115423212006-10-26T15:35:00.000+05:302006-10-26T15:35:00.000+05:30Hi!

Heard that "A Spot of Bother" (also by Haddon) is a perfect read to follow up on 'Curious Incident..'Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14867777091275039878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34552407.post-2131639371891707242006-10-22T18:58:00.000+05:302006-10-22T18:58:00.000+05:30Nice book review...made me wanting to read on....Nice book review...made me wanting to read on....Rajeshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04160256947810864137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34552407.post-71625288818284890722006-10-20T10:46:00.000+05:302006-10-20T10:46:00.000+05:30Thanks for sending me an e-mail about this book. ...Thanks for sending me an e-mail about this book.

As I finished the book I felt like sharing my feelings about it with anyone who cares. i wrote the post and sent it to some of the blogs I was reading with an interest in autism. there's no one around me who has read the book yet including the one who brought the book in first place. So you are the first one who got back with a reaction. hope to see you again some time. thanks for sharing.jaypeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05807242471156940117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34552407.post-8982027909794639882006-10-19T20:45:00.000+05:302006-10-19T20:45:00.000+05:30Hi Jaypee. Saw your comment on the "What are they...Hi Jaypee. Saw your comment on the "What are they thinking?" blog and wandered on over here.<br />About the Curious Incident. I had not yet read this book when my father, who lives across the country, told me about it. He absolutely cherishes his little autistic grandson and had stumbled upon the book while on vacation. It was highly recommended by a chance meeting of his.<br />Long story short--I bought the book and, of course, loved it. I found it to be a good mystery, which I love, a great story of changing family dynamics, which we all experience, and most importantly a lesson of love, sacrifice, and acceptance.<br />I passed the book along to various coworkers, who returned it a little worse for wear, and in turn passed it to my teenagers. They passed it along to their friends. I no longer have possession of the book I purchased, but I have the memories of it, and I am secure in my knowledge that it has gone on to enlighten and educate a great many people.<br />Thank you for this post.Random Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13748907476568141637noreply@blogger.com
