REVIEW: The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon get it  here BOOK SUMMARY: Christopher John Francis Boone knows all the countries of the world and their capitals and every prime number up to 7,057. He relates well to animals but has no understanding of human emotions. He cannot stand to be touched. And he detests the color yellow. Although gifted with a superbly logical brain, for fifteen-year-old Christopher everyday interactions and admonishments have little meaning. He lives on patterns, rules, and a diagram kept in his pocket. Then one day, a neighbor's dog, Wellington, is killed and his carefully constructive universe is threatened. Christopher sets out to solve the murder in the style of his favourite (logical) detective, Sherlock Holmes. What follows makes for a novel that is funny, poignant and fascinating in its portrayal of a person whose curse and blessing are a mind that perceives the world entirely literally. BOOK REVIEW:  4 STARS I w

JUNE WRAP-UP

The month of June has been absolutely wonderful! I've not read as many books as I had in May, however, most of the books I've read were worthy of 5 stars. I've dipped my toes into the world of sci-fi, it was a huge step for me since I've always stayed comfortable in the land of Fantasy. I've also read and reviewed a poem collection, which was something different too. Here are the books I've read in June, in no particular order. 1.  NIMBUS  by A.C. Miller The storyline of NIMBUS has captivated me from the start. Over in the land of Nimbus, 14 year-olds are separated from their families for 11 years to live outside the wall. Every day, kids are fighting for their lives, suffering to find food and shelter. They were kicked out without any skills to defend themselves. Only the strong ones can survive.  The writing was consistent, never had there been a moment that was boring. Every character faced their portion of pain and suffering but continued to
