Insiden Anjing di Tengah Malam yang Bikin Penasaran

Novel, Mystery by Mark Haddon, Simon Stephens

Blurb

Winner of the Whitbread Book of the Year 'Outstanding...a stunningly good read' Observer 'Mark Haddon's portrayal of an emotionally dissociated mind is a superb achievement... Wise and bleakly funny' Ian McEwan The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is a murder mystery novel like no other. The detective, and narrator, is Christopher Boone. Christopher is fifteen and has Asperger's Syndrome. He knows a very great deal about maths and very little about human beings. He loves lists, patterns and the truth. He hates the colours yellow and brown and being touched. He has never gone further than the end of the road on his own, but when he finds a neighbour's dog murdered he sets out on a terrifying journey which will turn his whole world upside down.

Sehr emotionales Werk, welches eine düstere und zutiefst depressive Geschichte erzählt, in welcher Lichtblicke stets zu ersticken versucht werden. Sehr lohnenswert. PS: Die Hörbuch Variante wurde vom Synchronsprecher Robert DeNiro's, dessen eigentlicher Name mir gerade entfallen ist, gesprochen. Ebenfalls sehr lohnenswert.

Ein faszinierendes Buch. Es ist interessant -- und manchmal beklemmend -- dem Hauptdarsteller und seinen Gedankengängen zu folgen. Sein größter Wert liegt meines Erachtens darin, dass es gut helfen kann, sich in Autisten hinein zu versetzen.

Like most McCarthy novels, he writes a dark, tense, yet realistic representation of what life can be. In this case, in a apocalyptic America. A simple, yet beautiful read. Definitely a must read.

Very consequent and concentrated. Touching in parts, but still prosaic. It reads like a short story in long.

When I finished the book, I set it down and my first thought was "I just read a masterpiece."

Very well written book that touches on many topics and raises many ethical questions for the reader.

Ein Buch mit einer Handlung, die einfacher nicht sein könnte und dennoch so tiefgehend ist. Ein sehr sehr trauriges Buch, dessen Ende erahnt wird und dennoch schockiert. Begleitet einen Vater und seinen Sohn durch ein postapokalyptisches Land voll von Hunger, Schmerz und Gefahr - und trotz alledem einer großen Portion Hoffnung.
