Moral of the story Moral of the story is that there are many ways to see and interpret the world and there are many ways to live a human life. Many have the idea that there is a "norm" about how we should live, and how we should relate to others. Christopher Boone exemplifies one way to interact with the world. His descriptions about what he sees, for example his analysis of the ad for Malayasia, provide insight into the assumptions our "appropriate" worlds makes about human existence, values and truth.

Favorite part of the curious incident of the dog in the night time My favorite part in the book is when Christopher finds out about his mother not being dead after all these years that his father was just lying about his mother, being dead to protect him from looking for her. This is a valuable message in this book as you always can’t trust people. The book has a valuable message as it teaches us even if your mentally handipcapped they can still show love in their own unique way.
