The Ha-Ha
The Ha-Ha: A Novel | Dave King
4 posts | 5 read | 4 to read
Howard Kapostash has not spoken in thirty years. The small repertory of gestures and simple sounds that he uses to communicate lead most people to assume he is disturbed. No one understands that Howard is still the same man he was before his tragic injury. But when he agrees to help an old girlfriend by opening his home to her nine-year-old son, the presence of this nervous, resourceful boy in his life transforms Howard utterly. He is afforded a rare glimpse of life outside his shell ? with all its exuberant joys and crushing sorrows.

This was good. There was a lot of “guy” stuff in the book, but with Howie and Ryan as main characters, becoming almost like father and son, one should expect that. It was nice how the household came together to help out with Ryan (though none were used to having a kid around the house!). I didn‘t like Sylvia much, but then Howie did some stupid things, too

🌟🌟🌟🌟 This book was well written and the characters very likeable. I just sincerely didn't like the premise of the book, I felt like I was dropped in the middle of someone's life and was never really given the first half of the conversation....

Nit and Nat as characters make very little sense to me. They are nicknames that Howard gives them because he respects them so little he can't (won't?) remember their real names. Because of this, I feel they are lacking a depth as characters that they are starting to deserve by page 145 when they factor this heavily into the storyline.
