a book i definitely recommend

[BenRW]

'The curious incident of the dog in the night-time' by mark haddon

 

its written from the point of view of a boy who has asperger's syndrome (a form of autism)

 

an amazing read and as i'm mildly dyspraxic i can definitely relate to how the boy thinks in some of the situations and some of the things he does.

 

Definitely one of the best books i've ever read and a very good insight into the mind of an autistic child.

I just read Rachel's Holiday by Marion Keyes

 

Is about this girl who always binges on Cocaine, Valium plus alcohol and food

 

She gets put into rehab clinic by her family and its all about her struggle to admit she's an addict.. Its very good and really funny....
