The Novel “The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Nighttime” by Mark Haddon is a story about a fifteen-year-old Autistic boy named Christopher Boone.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time is a play about love‚ family‚ secrets‚ relationships and being an outsider.

I would say Rain Man’s reputation lies somewhere in the middle of the spectrum when it comes to best picture winners.
