A Spot of Bother

It is always hard for an author to impress readers a second time if his debut was a great hit. A brief search on the web will tell you that "A Spot of Bother" did not win as many nods as "The Curious Incident.." did. So was it really a let down? Well it all depends on what you are looking for. If you loved "The Curious Incident.." for its unusual plot, you might be disappointed about "A Spot of Bother"'s more predictable plot. But I am actually easier to please, I looked for the humour, the funny way of looking at everyday lives occurings, the things that you could identify with and laugh and cry at the same time. I finished the book with a smile on my face.
"A Spot of Bother" is about how one single event turned a family upside down and how they all fell back into the right places in the end. The plot itself deserves little compliment really, but I like how the author portrays individual characters. In particular, George and Jamie. I really like how the author described Geroge's mind, it really touched me, I almost wanted to pull the character out to give him a hug.
I am not a person who is after plots, and since "The Curious Incident.." didn't really touch me, I personally prefer this one. And if you haven't read "The Curious Incident..." then all the better! Is this a 2007 must-read? No. But it's some light-hearted stuff that will lift ones mood.
