I enjoyed this book and it was a pretty quick read. Interesting look into the life of a young irish boy.

cover is different

Before there was Frank McCourt there was Roddy Doyle. Roddy's work is some of the funniest you'll ever read.

Excellent novel about a 10 year old boy growing up in the 1960's in Dublin, Ireland.

Wonderful story of a 10 yr old working class boy in 1960s Dublin; hilarious,poignant, realistic. Roddy Doyle's always a good read, very evocative of place and time

My daughter chose to read this for British Lit class. It is a Booker Prize winner. She enjoyed it very much, as she had no idea, before, how a ten-year old boy thought.

very entertaining, but also heartbreaking

"This novel perfectly captures . . the potency, skewed perceptions, and just plain weirdness of being alive at the age of ten . . . Doyle has created a small, resonant masterpiece. Here, for once, in childhood and childhood's end, done heartbreakingly right." ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

"A beautifully written book; it may be one of the great modern Irish novels." _Carolyn See, THE WASHINGTON POST
