Bohane, sombre cité (ROMANS, NOUVELL) by Kevin Barry

4.0

Loved it. Very funny book with a unique sense of language. It was definitely an exercise in stylistic cool and at times was silly in its attempts to be hip and such. But at other times it was INCREDIBLY cool, exciting and interesting. It had a few of the most cinematic fights/battles I've ever witnessed, and that includes in the cinema. Also it's Irish. Finally it even managed to be sneakily heartfelt at times. There were moments of sadness in it and i cared about some of the characters (even if none of them were that brilliantly defined).
