"The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night" by Mark Haddon

I present to you the book by Mark Haddon "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night." are 250 pages of fiction involving fans and waving the reader through the discomfort and fascination, between bursts of tenderness and peevish impatience, or at least raise this in the particular type of player that I am, unwilling to understanding and patience others. Fortunately, the diversity characterizing the nation of readers, and these reactions will be faced with an unusual book like this, which deals with a lightness argument is not easy.
Christopher Boone is a boy of fifteen years, suffers from Asperger syndrome, and this novel is his "yellow book", the diary of investigation because he, like his hero Sherlock Holmes, has decided to step into the shoes of the investigator to discover the identity of a cruel murderess. In the book
Asperger syndrome is presented as a form of autism is not totally disabling in that it allows those affected to establish a quasi-discrete level of communication with the people closest to him, but such relationships are fragile and based on compliance with specific rules and strict, schematics, which triggers the slightest infraction subject to a complete reconsideration of the relational ties, based on new factors occurred, with all the painful complications related to it.

Christopher has high intelligence, including: understand all of mathematics and physics, whose implementation in the everyday areas allow him to live in relative peace and security, because they govern, regulate and define unambiguously the reality, making it understandable and deductible. The boy is the problem of extending the compelling logic, rationality and the extreme schematization in all its sphere of life, making this alien and communication with people. Christopher
never smiles, is not able to make sense of facial expressions of others, their facial expressions, and can not understand the complexity of human feelings and not bring it. He hates to be touched except that the other is an animal. He hates the yellow and brown, like red, do not eat foods that have come in contact with each other on his plate and does not understand what problem there is in staying silent for weeks, or not eat for days. E 'aware of the stupidity spread throughout the world, and how these pervade people often live their lives on the tracks of nonsense and illogic, and this statement is that a factor that arouses sympathy and understanding.

Seeing the world through the eyes of this kid is an amazing experience, lighting, creates a desire to take themselves less seriously, noting, thanks to him, some of our superficiality, and at the same time it is distressing to note his total inability to understand the emotions human feelings, reduced to pure aseptic factors in a cage of short temporary logical connections, an equation that factors of pure nothing Given the nature of human beings.
This inability to frame and understand the meaning of the reports, their structure, the feelings, the sentimental and emotional reasons behind the behavior of others, and then to put in proper perspective, the affection of a person, is a major driver I have made it almost intolerable nature of Christopher, and make excruciating reading this book. On the one hand the mind of the reader seems to be shaken like a breath of pure air, fresh as if they came back to see the world through children eyes, discovering riches and a new sense of what surrounds us, on the other, especially in identifying with the boy's father, feels all the despair, grief and anger of a love denied, you will never even be comforting, and the soul will is crushed.
I think one of the most intense of the novel is precisely that of his father, a man forced by circumstances to grow up alone with an autistic child relationship problems, which it considers normal wandering around his neighborhood at night because when they do not c 'no one is around that can cause an impact, and because it can see the stars in all peace.
will be just one of these nights, midnight on the title, Christopher discovers that the corpse Wellington, the dog of his neighbors, killed with a pitchfork, a situation that will arise in him the desire to find out who killed her and why. Thus begins the investigation of Christopher investigation, reported in detail in his book, which soon turns into an unexpected adventure, happiness and sorrow, a process of maturation that will lead to greater maturity, inner security and independence.

The author, Mark Haddon English, born in 1963, wrote and illustrated several children's books and "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night" has met with considerable success. The book is written in first person and is Haddon succeeded in returning to the full voice and the look of a boy who, despite his considerable close interpersonal relationships and the world is not known, manages to keep the curiosity and freshness typical of the majority of young people of that age. But this book is not explicitly addressed to them, but I believe it is most appreciated by adult readers who can understand the various situations presented, even if it is a novel I would recommend to everyone.
The book is unusual, since the numbering of the chapters, to go to the heterogeneous length of the same, ending with the pleasure of meeting the numerous drawings scattered through the pages.

Haddon's choice of language is simple, direct, straightforward but not trivial, it is perfect to restore the voice of the narrator immature, funny and disarming its findings to the world, both to express the seriousness of the truths established by the children. It can be described as a book to read-and-watch for the designs for both the careful use of the words in italics or bold, always significant for the way forward.

It 's a book that has torn me a smile but also often infuriated and still move and interrogate me on my ability to relate to a hypothetical "Christopher."
I can not determine the overall feeling at the end of my reading, I have a feeling that the author wanted emphasize the positive, optimistic and hope for a situation like the one told, but do not exclude that it may be my look too negative aspects, barriers, feelings of other people involved, seeing the various injustices, to let this sense of bitter depths of the soul or perhaps, perhaps, is my not being a parent to prevent me from accepting this story closely ... but as I said initially, each player is a world unto itself.

PS1: I do not want you fraintendesse: it is a pleasant read but do not bet on the meaning of happiness or hope or optimism that, at the end of history, should inspire the reader. We can not investigate the intentions of the writer, and we know that a book mutates once read, because it is customized by the player, but I think the writer wanted to convey a "moral" positive. Here I do not bet on that success, I believe that on certain players that intention shipwreck, sunk by the black waves of their minds. The rest of the Adviser, however, would be terrible crush a writer only a matter of taste or personal paranoia!
PS2: out of curiosity I read some reviews about IBS and I found that the majority are positive, with high average ratings. I also noticed some negative opinions clearly, and so far nothing shocking, but I was horrified by the language troglodyte with which they were written messages. Yes understood that these caves, waving their fury at belches of k, and other guttural sounds not well identified, were examples of the category "students" in high school ... horror and dismay! We can only hope that in natural selection.

American Gods, Neil Gaiman Robin Hobb

I read it twice "American Gods" by Neil Gaiman . remember that as I enter in reading, two thoughts were strengthened in my mind, linked to a the first sentence of the second rotating around a sobering finding .
The phrase, which is accorded to different events in the book, remembering the well-known as "all the gods were immortal."
Reflection was to think that if it is true that "history always repeats itself" is even more true that the divine world invented by man is always the same story, no matter the form, or the names of divine creatures: the source is unique, and it is always the same gear, to move the figures on stage, and actors are always the same.

"American Gods" is a novel whose plot is a weaving of stories and lives: human lives and divine, with those of the latter are often poorer than those of the most desperate among humans.
The first figure in which the reader encounters is Shadow, the protagonist, who will be the leitmotiv of quest'intricata history, met when they crossed the threshold of the prison to freedom, having served three years imprisonment for robbery. In the human happiness for the release is poisoned by the simultaneous news of the death of his beloved wife, a person occupying his thoughts, and filled his life. In the state of apathy
painful when Shadow falls, the encounter with the cantankerous, domineering and enigmatic Mr Wednesday be experienced former convict with ill-concealed impatience. Attitude that also characterize the next covenant with him, the discovery of human identity and the subsequent meetings. Everything is welcomed by Shadow with a fatality that has the taste of non-life.
The mysterious man is actually Odin, the Universal Father, Monocle, Grimnir, Gondlir, the Norse god known by a multitude of names. The ancient God decided to join others around her ancient gods, to wage a final and decisive war to new gods that walked the earth, worshiped by men with sacrifices and offerings: the god of Technology, the god of Highways, Television, Media, Information, CIA, FBI, Search Engine ... To move
Odin should contact their war, and persuaded to adhere to his cause the ancient gods, unruly, self-centered, individualistic and quirky, who live on Earth, confused men, they forget and then declining, bypassed and replaced in the imagination human from the new idols of the modern era.
Shadow and Wednesday will embark on a long journey through the roads of America, touching places and revealing the soul, a journey that echoes the magic of ' on the road with the sad desperation of the run of an old sense of a vivid time, to feel alive again, or try to be, at least once.

Gaiman is a writer, attentive to words, the hidden meaning in them, and the magic contained in this book is to discover completely involved in reading, what is hidden in shadow, the Thin Man, and Wednesday, Odin, the god ... but every reader will find out for themselves.

The magic of "American Gods" is also its being a story interwoven with so many single, unique stories, we will then follow with curiosity, including a chapter to another, the short stories that tell how to Gods Europeans, Africans, Asians have landed in America in tow, in the hearts and minds, of the conquerors, travelers, migrants, slaves and deported, and of how they also were soon forgotten and replaced with other idols. You'll find the same curiosity and then with the difficult survival of these ancient gods and the way they try to echo the ancient worship and sacrifice of life. We will encounter Chernobog in Anansi, in Easter, in Bilquis in Anubis, in Osiris, Horus in, in Thothy, Kali and many more and other fantastic creatures and legendary.

"American Gods" was preceded by the novels "Nessundove" and "Stardust", many stories and especially comic opera "Sandman" and it can be said that the novel presented here has the characteristics creation of a Mature, in which the narrative ability, the gift of storytelling, binds perfectly to the visionary imagination and language powerfully expressive of the cartoonist. In addition, the writer fills his writings with quotations and references that is a pleasure to discover!

Neil Gaiman in "American Gods" was able to weave together multiple stories, in addition to having the ability to direct the reader to three of them, playing with the reader's attention like a magician with his audience, distracting or captured, while maintaining high curiosity, then to fit it all perfectly ... without revealing all the secrets, without answering all the questions.

Characters are the other strong point of this novel, in which the gods compete with men in the ability to capture the interest and sympathies of the reader. You could say that it is a book in which all characters are significant players, although for understandable reasons, Shadow and Wednesday are distinguished in the crowd: and the Thin Man is the character that ultimately raises more questions.

"American Gods" is a novel addition to pleasantly entertain the reader's mind on the story told, calls for reflection. Back then the words written at the beginning of this "review". Meet, albeit fictional, some of the time and considered immortal beloved and see which have fallen into oblivion or contempt proceedings, which relegates them to fun primitive folklore, can only reinforce a certain view of "temporary, mild, moody" divine sense of general and therefore also the current one.
reading "American Gods" raises another obvious realization: the cannibal character, fagocitatorio, of religions, as a "belief" is often the result of evolution or transformation, often by a real theft of " think "before.
Finally, faced with the endless variety of gods who accompanied the old man, from ancient times until today, it is difficult not to regard the divine as a purely human creation, not a God the creator of man but the man of the Creator in His image and likeness, is constantly in ages. Take a more divine light and fatalistic, and it is not surprising that Gaiman is English.

This novel gives birth and may fuel interesting discussions, from which the voice, presence and influence of the writer is clearly absent, because the story is told the source of Mental fun that the reader will experience in solitude, in a pleasant story well told.
"The best way to describe a story is told. It 'clear? This describes, to themselves or the world, he says. Telling is a compensatory measure, a dream. The more detailed the map, the more it looks like the area. The map becomes the territory as accurately as possible, so perfectly detailed and fully redundant.
The story is that the map is the territory.
must not forget that. "

This means the cancellation of the opportunity for psychologists to make a diagnosis aimed at specialist psychotherapeutic treatment, and a step backward for 20 years before the founding of our law Profession of Psychology, Law 56/89, which rather explicitly allows this possibility to our class.
