Mark Haddon’s A Spot Of Bother

From the author of The Curious Incident of the Dog In The Night-Time, if the name sounds familiar. I liked it, but it’s a romantic comedy centered around a wedding. Never have I read such a good-natured novel. I found it impossible to dislike any of the characters. They’re all people who, if they asked (and this is England) “fancy a pint?” you’d say “sure mate, let me get my wally-by,” or however it is the English say “wallet.” But the book slid past without leaving a scratch on me, which is not why I read. Can’t recommend it with whole heart unless you need comfort.
