WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
There was Joyce's Dublin and now there's Roddy Doyle's: wholly contemporary, extremely funny, and wonderfully and energetically delinquent. Irresistible to the modern spirit.
— Fay Weldon
Roddy Doyle has captured the real spirit of Dublin—quick—witted, sharp, and inventive. His characters are drawn with great affection and love, and stay in the mind long after you have laughed your head off at the brilliant dialogue.
— Colm Toibin
