A review by ianbanks
Love by Roddy Doyle

4.0

This has the potential to be a terrible novel but the thin plot is wonderfully handled by Mr Doyle. Two old friends meet in a pub and go on a crawl from here. It’s interspersed with reminiscences from the narrator as he contemplates his past and the mess he thinks his mate has made of his life. It treads a thin line between being heartfelt and mawkish and mostly makes it to being a good read.
