Borstal Boy by Brendan Behan

4.0

A fascinating story of Brendan Behan's time in the young offenders' prison system in England for IRA activities. It was an interesting adventure to follow his time in confinement and his relationships with his fellow prisoners and jailers. But the most enjoyable adventure for me was in the language of the story -- learning British and Irish slang and dialect, and appreciating the author's mastery of language.
