George Hall is a dignified hypochondriac who, after discovering a menacing ‘rash’ on his hip, begins to quietly and oh so politely go insane.

Mark Haddon (1962-) wrote The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-time, and this penning is a follow-up to that book. I remember, whilst reading curious incident, that I liked Haddon’s use of language and brilliant witticism used in the dialogue between his characters. So, if Haddon follows true-to-form, I’m going to like A Spot of Bother.

When I saw this book, I thought, ‘How on earth am I just now seeing this?’ Having gone into collectors’ status, finding an acceptable used copy that was economically feasible as well, was a bit of a dodge I‘m afraid. But patience won-out in the end, and I should have book in hand by mid February.

If you don’t know the back-story of these two amazing people, do yourself a favor …..
