Book Review of A Spot of Bother

A Spot of Bother
A Spot of Bother
Author: Mark Haddon
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Paperback
reviewed on


I admit that at the start of this book, I wasn't overly thrilled with it. Maybe it was somewhat due to British slang and terms (which I had to define by context, rather than knowing what it all meant). By mid-way through the book, though, it was hard to put it down. I was worried for George myself, but in a humorous way. I think this author has a great way of writing to capture most readers........ because most of us have had at least some of those crazy thoughts that George has had. George has that kind of Charlie Brown appeal. I'd highly recommend this book.
