Delightful. . . . Very moving, very plausible-and very funny." -Oliver Sacks "Superb. . . . Bits of wisdom fairly leap off the page." -Newsday "Disorienting and reorienting the reader to devastating effect. . . . As suspenseful and harrowing as anything in Conan Doyle." -Jay McInerney,The New York Times Book Review "Extraordinarily moving, often blackly funny. . . .

A stunningly good read." -The Independent "Engrossing . . . flawlessly imagined and deeply affecting." -Time Out New York "A remarkable book from a writer with very special talent." -Fort Worth Star-Telegram "The Curious Incidentis the rare book that repays reading twice in quick succession." -Detroit Free Press "Heart-in-the-mouth stuff, terrifying and moving. Haddon is to be congratulated for imagining a new kind of hero." -The Daily Telegraph "This original and affecting novel is a triumph of empathy." The New Yorker "Haddon's book illuminates the way one mind works so precisely, so humanely, that it reads like both an acutely observed case study and an artful exploration of a different 'mystery': the thoughts and feeling we share even with those very different from us." Entertainment Weekly "Mark Haddon's portrayal of an emotionally disassociated mind is a superb achievement. He is a wise and bleakly funny writer with rare gifts of empathy." Ian McEwan, author ofAtonement "A murder mystery, a road atlas, a postmodern canvas of modern sensory overload, a coming-of-age journal and lastly a really affecting look at the grainy inconsistency of parental and romantic love and its failures. . . . In this striking first novel, Mark Haddon is both clever and observant, and the effect is vastly affecting." The Washington Post "Haddon's gentle humor reminds us that facts don't add up to a life, that we understand ourselves only through metaphor." Chicago Tribune "Beautifully written. . . . Heart-in-the-mouth stuff, terrifying and moving. Haddon is to be congratulated for imagining a new kind of hero, for the humbling instruction this warm and often funny novel offers and for showing that the best lives are lived where difference is cherished." <i, "Gloriously eccentric and wonderfully intelligent." -The Boston Globe "Moving. . . .
