I thought that A Curious Incident was an okay book, but there were some things I did not like. I thought it was cool that there were graphs and images and the like set in with the text, to be able to understand what Christopher was talking about. I didn't like how Christopher acted in some situations, such as hitting the officer when he touched him, but it was supposed to help show his character and how his aspergers affected his actions. I think that the character of Siobhan was a nice addition, and I liked how she was written, because she wasn't too judgemental or rude toward Christopher because of his mentality. I didn't like Toby, because I thought he wasn't very necessary for the story, and even distracted Christopher.
I think that because of Christophers aspergers, you're supposed to understand that he can't always be the most sympathetic or empathic character, but I didn't really like him because he wasn't as understanding of a character that I would have liked, or gotten along with, and I think he shouldn't have run away from home so suddenly, and should have talked with his father about his mother and going to see her together, instead of running off by himself, which could have been potentially dangerous.
