The curious incident of the dog in the night-time

I think this one doesn't have the same kind of moralina Forrest Gump has.

Hi!

I've just bought "The curious incident of the dog in the night-time" and "The boy in the striped pyjamas", both in English. I've never read an unabridged book in English but I've read some Oxford Bookworms Library. Probably I'll read it next month and I'll write some words here.

Someone want to join me?

Just a quiestion: Why I've had to pay 13 euros if in the back cover appears the price like 7.99 pounds??

Because in Britain book prices aren't binding. So whatever price is printed on the back of the book is basically just the publisher's recommendation and the individual booksellers can decide for themselves whether they want to follow that recommendation or not.

I thought something like that but I was surprised when I heard I had to pay 13 instead of 10 more or less. However I'm glad to achieve this book.

Off topic: I heard a lot of good references about Amazon and in the future I'll check in this web site first.

Probably, if you bought it in the internet, they addded shipping cost.

I must say I read it in Spanish some time ago. To me, a very funny and easy book to enjoy on holidays... but not less worthy reading. The young narrator was so cute!

(I'm terribly sorry for my shitty English... and I'd be grateful if you want to correct me )

I just read it, I liked it but if I had read first in English, I would not have read because is 'too easy'. I don't like books which are written like children books. But The curious incident of the dog in the night-time was my first book in English and its lenguage was easy for me (I know, I'm writting like the main character xD).
I like the book because teaches us that life is more simple than we think, we make it complicate. The book helps me to aproach maths, I forgot it a long long time.

Now , I'm searching my next English book

I read this book last year, in mi fourth year in the School of Languages, and I liked it so much, Christopher is charming and a very logical and clever boy.

The book is easy to understand, it hasn't a very hard vocabulary, and is very interesting because you can know more about how are the children that have Asperger.

I recommend it so much!
