So there I was in New Hampshire by the pool reading a bright orange colored book by the fella that wrote the masterpiece The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time.
A Spot of Bother is a follow up to the genius but it is not a sequel.
It focuses on a dysfunctional British family and it drained me to keep up with all of them and their insanities.
They were all cliched and familiar in the literal world.
The father had a nervous breakdown. (Been there read that.)
The mother was cheating on the husband because she felt no love (Been there read that.)
The son was gay and couldn't commit to his lover so he got dumped. (Been there read that )
The daughter couldn't commit to her second husband to be and the wedding went on and off like crazy driving the reader frigging insane. (Been there read that. )
So what's the bottom line?
With how awesome the first book was, I was disappointed with this one but I can't say that it was entirely horrible either.
