"A Spot of Bother" by Mark Haddon (he wrote "The Curious Incident . . .

[Lex]

of the Dog in the Nighttime.")

It's a brilliant read, funny and endearing. Hard to categorize, but totally captivating.

This fellow can write!

Highly recommended.


I agree with the Chicago Sun-Times:

“{Haddon’s} craftsmanship is dazzling, his sense of character profound, his kindness toward his creations that of a consummate caregiver. Humorous, occasionally heart-rending and always enthralling, A Spot of Bother is a wonder and a joy.”

1. I found it a more 'traditional' novel than 'Curious Incident', but still a great read

I especially like the way he can inside a mentally disturbed person's head and make their weirdest decisions and actions seem totally rational. :thumsbup:

...and "Curious Incident" is probably in my top 5 novels of all time.
