A review by fictionwriter
A Spot of Bother by Mark Haddon

4.0

I loved this novel although not as much as THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHTTIME which I've recommended to fellow readers many times. It's not fair to compare...this novel takes on the main characters in a family from a neurotic, hyphochondriac husband and father to his philandering wife to his engaged daughter and his gay son.. the author moves seamlessly from one story to another and you do care about what happens to each of them even while they are driving you nuts. That alone is a remarkable achievement.
