A Spot of Bother

I've put a few quotes from the book that I enjoyed.

"He wasn't the most beautiful man she'd ever met. But the most beautiful man she'd ever met had shat on hr from a great height. And when Ray put his arms around her she felt safer than she'd felt for a long time."

"Ian gave him another bear hug which Jamie now realized was a Christian hug, not a real one."

"Obviously there were worse jobs in the world (rat catcher, astronaut....) but Jamie had never realized quite how far down the table parenting came."

As for the book itself, I liked it. It was much darker than the curious incident of the dog in the nighttime. But I don't mind darker fiction. I related very much to all of the characters.

Katie and I both have tempers that make people run for cover. Jamie and I are afraid to love. Jean and I embrace our scandal. George and I suffer from crazy. Mark Haddon crafted this novel marvelously, and I recommend it to everyone.
