A Spot of Bother

I went back to compare some of my older 3-star reviews and decided to drop this one down 1 star based on that.
It wasn't good. It wasn't bad.
It was just *shrugs* ..meh.
George reminded me of Harold Fry in The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry , a character with whom I could not connect at all. Feeble, weak and unresponsive to surroundings (had a bit more balls though).
Apparently books about retired old men are really not my thing.
Mark Haddon does deserve some credit as his book was easy to read and did seem all the while to be leading up to something.
Somewhat of an anticlimactic ending with none of the answers I had been looking for.

Quotes Chandr茅 Liked
“The secret of contentment, George felt, lay in ignoring many things completely. How anyone could work in the same office for ten years or bring up children without putting certain things to the back of their mind was beyond him.”

“Maybe George was fooling himself. Maybe old people always fooled themselves, pretending that the world was going to hell because it was easier than admitting they were being left behind, that the future was pulling away from the beach and they were standing on their little island bidding it good riddance, knowing in their hearts that there was nothing left for them to do but sit around on the shingle waiting for the big disease to come out of the undergrowth.”

“At home he was reading Pet Sematary, but reading that in public was like leaving the house in your underwear.”
