Hey people that are reading "the curious incident of the dog in the night-time", I am done reading the second part of the book now and it is getting better and better as each chapter goes by. I really believe that we are starting to get in to the mind of the character like Mr. Sutherland said we would. The cool part is that I have the same name as the main character.
Throughout his adventures, he records his experiences in a book called "murder mystery novel". While his investigating, he meets people whom he has never encountered before, even though they live on the same street, including the elderly Mrs Alexander, who informs Christopher that his mother had an affair with Mr Shears. Ed, whom is his father, discovers the book and confiscates it from Christopher, after a verbal fight between them. While searching for the confiscated book, he uncovers a trove of letters which his mother wrote to him, dated after her supposed death, which his father has also hidden. He is so thoroughly shocked by his father lying about his mother's death that he is unable to move, roll up on the bed, throws up and groans for a couple hours until his father gets home. Ed realises that his child has read the letters and cleans Christopher up. He then confesses that he had indeed lied about Judy's "death" and also that it was he who killed Wellington, stating that it was a mistake resulting from his anger after a heated argument with Mrs Shears. Christopher, having lost all trust in his father and also fearing that his father may attempt to kill him since he had already killed the dog, runs away. Lead by his mother's address from the letters, he embarks on an adventurous trip to London, where his mother lives with Mr Shears.
