cheerbrarian 's review for:
A Spot of Bother
by Mark Haddon
I simply adore this book. When I started reading it I was a little sleepy which I do not recommend. This book moves pretty quickly and jumps around to several main characters so it takes a little work to get into the rhythm of the text. Once you do, it is superb. The characters are vibrant and real and their interactions are full of depth and conflict.
A bit of it gets a little...medically icky. I read horror novels and am never bothered by violence or gore, but there are some parts in this that struck a chord: I had to put the book down for a little bit. This is because the author does such a great job creating the characters you believe them to be real and it gets a little difficult to read through some of the things they are experiencing.
This book is smart with quick-witted dialogue. It is certainly a novel I would read again and probably catch clever bits I missed the first time.
I recommend this book to everyone! I'm not sure if all audiences would like it, but it is worth a shot because it is that good.
