Classic book, but very crass and sad. Lots of depressing content and sexual content. It brought intimate views of the poverty of Ireland in a wry humour.

owls_rainbow's review

DNF at 116 pages. Too miserable and if the advert for the "sequel" is anything to go by nothing improves.

Content warnings for child death and alcoholism.

Good book. Very sad but … what other book features long distance nut busting off the top of a castle? Never to be outdone in that sense. If I talk more about the sad parts of it I’ll cry, so I won’t.
