The Curious Incident of the Dog etc

[Tinker]

Just finished this and loved it. But...ending felt a little rushed, unsatisfactory. Felt sorry for the father.

But, the prime numbers and informing the CIA bit - is that right?

I didn't object to the swearing - it is in place, it's just that in every other respect the book would be suitable for ds1 to read ... and might lead to some interesting discussions. But afaik he hasn't come across 'those words' in any other context ... so for us it is a barrier.

He read The Machine Gunners which has some swearing in it, which we talked to him about, and it hasn't caused any problems. But this just seems in a different league.
