In this book author Roddy Doyle has eclipsed all his other work and firmly established his place among the great writers of Ireland - and anywhere else for that matter. I like stories that are about people, and I prefer uplifting stories with a happy ending. So I was predisposed to like this book. But Mr. Doyle does so much more than I could ever have imagined. His characters all live. Their experiences are real. By the final third or fourth of the book I truly felt that I was right by the protagonist's guy's side, living the story with him! In this book, Roddy Doyle's storytelling abilities are nothing short of astounding. Don't miss this story. P.S. After reading this book I coincidentally vacationed in Ireland, and I book this book while there, to add to my collection of titles that I periodically re-read, and thrill over again and again.
