Skippy Dies by Paul Murray

adventurous emotional funny slow-paced

  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

At first I was very intimidated by the length of this book (and the fact I had to read along and discuss with a partner I barely know) but it was so easy and worth it to become invested in the story. The subject matter is heavy (covering addiction, mental illness, racism, bullying etc) but it never loses its core tone, the humor that comes along with a group of clueless teenage boys just trying to figure things out.
