Dr. Haggard's Disease by Patrick McGrath
3.0
If there was ever an ending, I wasn't expecting... It certainly wasn't this.
This book was at times a bit tedious, in fact, at one part I nearly gave up. But something about Patrick McGrath's writing seems to compel me to carry on reading.
I felt Dr Haggard was pathetic and so in him, I guess I actually see myself, with his described short stature and apparent emotional instability.
His absolute adoration for the pathologist's wife at times repulsed me, sometimes bored me to tears.
So, all in all, that's good writing.
