I don't do well with stream of conscious books. Better to own that fact now and return it for some other library patron to enjoy.

An interesting excercise, but it didn't do much for me. I was interested to see that Irish children call a spaz a spa. ( )

This must be one of the truest and funniest presentations of juvenile experience in any recent literature.
The novel's boldest feature is its infantile style of narrative.
Roddy Doyle's book has already dead-legged the assumption that grown-ups are more interesting. To borrow the formula: 'It was sad and brilliant; I liked it.'

We were coming down our road. Kevin stopped at a gate and bashed it with a stick. It was Missis Quigley's gate; she was always looking out the window but she never did anything.
