Book Review: A Spot of Bother is well worth it
Summary: 5 Stars
Mark Haddon has done it again. For anyone who has read "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time" and wondered how he could match it, be assured that he does.
This is not an easy read, but it's an amazing story that keeps the surprises coming. It will make quite the movie someday.
Love, sex, death, and mental illness all blend together in a familial storm that culminates in a crescendo that will have you laughing and wondering what could possibly go wrong next. You'll see.
Summary of A Spot of Bother (Vintage)
A Washington Post Best Book of the YearA Spot of Bother is Mark Haddon's unforgettable follow-up to the internationally beloved bestseller The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.
At sixty-one, George Hall is settling down to a comfortable retirement. When his tempestuous daughter, Katie, announces that she is getting married to the deeply inappropriate Ray, the Hall family is thrown into a tizzy. Unnoticed in the uproar, George discovers a sinister lesion on his hip, and quietly begins to lose his mind.
As parents and children fall apart and come together, Haddon paints a disturbing yet amusing portrait of a dignified man trying to go insane politely.
