Sean writes this like he speaks, and the stories did start as radio rants on the Marion Finucane Radio show on RTE. It's full of atrocities, madness, greed, corruption and blatant powermongering.

Fun but at the same time very sad and touching, makes you glad you live in a slightly more democratic space.
If you like your fiction ultra violent and ultra bonkers then this is the book for you. All around Dublin's seedy underbelly we go, snorting cocaine and getting beaten up by Russian gangsters. One of my best public library finds this year.
A countdown of 20 religions or religious groups and an overview of their major beliefs. Fun and interesting.
