Gina Collia-Suzuki has captured the unusual subject matter of nuisance neighbours brilliantly well in this gem of a book.Approached with a good balance of humour and despair it is both laugh out loud funny and grippingly sad as the reader is taken on a journey outlining the devastating effects of nuisance neighbours on their 'victims'.
The nuisance neighbours in this case are an elderly gruesome twosome, the Guppys, who inflict a reign of terror on their new young neighbours from day one.The Guppys display all the classic symptoms of a couple who appear to suffer from a narcissistic personality disorder crossed with delusions of grandeur.
Superbly written and hard to put down, this really is a 'must read' for anyone, but particularly poignant to anyone who really does have the misfortune to suffer with nuisance neighbours.
The awful Guppys are truly the stuff of nightmares and will rank high in the world of literature among the book characters we just love to hate.
