Enjoyed both the story and the narration!

I’ve been meaning to read this book for several years but I’m glad that I listened to the audio book version. As an Irish person I thought the narrator was excellent, getting the accents/speaking style of the characters very much in line with their characteristics and bringing to life the stereotypes that the author developed so well. It was almost a satire of a particular segment of Irish society.

The story itself deals with some heavy topics (teenage drug use, depression, self-worth and mental health) but is told in a humorous way. The multiple layers show a critique of society. I think it’s an excellent story but will particularly appeal if you know pre-recession Dublin and Ireland. It’s definitely not for children or younger teenagers who might not understand the challenge the book is making.
