This is a terrific book - one that had me quickly turning the pages until the very end. I lost a couple of hours of sleep each night since starting to read it, but it was well worth it. I would recommend it to everyone - particularly those who enjoy books set in colourful eras.

I loved every minute of this book.  I couldn't wait to finish and hated reaching the end.  I loved the characters and the story.  Usually books that jump back and forth between times bother me but this one was done so well that it was easy to transition and I couldn't decide which time I wanted to be in more.  The true historical parts were fascinating and brought to life as part of the story perfectly.  One of the best books I've read in a very long time.

This was an amazing book. I read it within 24 hours, as I couldn't put it down. This story had so many twists and turns that I never saw coming. I found myself trying to predict Alyssa's next move only to get a new twist to the story-line. Actually I never anticipated either of the characters actions, (Quan, Ahmed, Tiffany, nor Tee's) The situations presented were so eccentric and outlandish yet, I could see it unfold in a true story. I also admire the tidbits of life advice throughout the story (hot topics, girlfriend advice,etc)and the funny hints of humor.
This book was extremely captivating, and had me enthralled the moment I started reading.

So glad I purchased this book.

I absolutely loved this book. I put off reading it for so long, but once I started, I couldn't stop. I finished it in fewer than two days. Engaging, raw, and real, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time will stay with me for a very long time.

I absolutely loved this book.  It hooked me from page 1.  I loved the way it was written, although I could see how some people might find it annoying. The characters were well-drawn and the story was gripping.  I chose this book for my book club and everyone loved it. I highly recommend it.

I read this book. I loved this book. I couldn't put it down! I read the whole thing in two days (about five sittings). I really enjoyed how the novel was written from three different character view points. Each character was so deep and relate-able that I would find myself feeling very close to one but then soon after diving into the next character I would start to connect with them as well. I also enjoyed how this book touched on a lot of important issues and was able to explore the lives of people living with complex emotions and difficult memories. The only criticism I have is that the book could have been longer. It did come together well in the end but it left me wanting more.

What an excellent book!  Everyone should read. The fact that it was a crime novel got my attention, but what kept it is the authors way of grabbing your attention and keeping it through the entire book (which I read in one day--couldn't put it down).  He uses great descriptions and vividly shares things about each character that makes you feel like you know them.  I was most excited about how I was changed personally by the book.  It surprisingly made me look at the way I view myself and other people and the world. It was a life-altering, suspenseful and insightful story. I'm hooked on the author, whom i hope writes another one soon!

Excellent book! I just couldn't put it down.

This book was so realistic and the characters were so down-to-earth and believable. They weren't perfect - they had flaws that made them even more believable. They were like real people instead of book characters.

Parts of the storyline were predictable but mostly because you can figure out from the back cover that the main character is the little girl that was kidnapped. Certain happenings only confirmed that knowledge but I still found myself wondering what would happen next since there were enough little unexpected twists to keep it exciting and interesting.

I can gladly say I haven't read any books similar to this one. It was refreshing to come across a completely new storyline.

This author was born to write books. I can't wait to see her next one.

This book was excellent from beginning to end. In the beginning - with a touch of history, all the way thru to present day. Touching on both the positive traits of people, but more scarily exposing the darker side of individual biases that we still see in so many parts of the world today. Gary does a good job combining technical, biological, emotional and political issues into a very engaging novel. I loved it, shared it with my family and friends and they are enjoying it too.
