Negative Positive
Title: Next best thing to a time machine.
Review: Remember how it feels to BE nine years old? Can you remember: how important it was how your best friend felt about you, how you felt when things were not 'quite right' with your parents, how exciting the 'new kid' in the neighborhood was? Feel, smell and hear again your days as a kid. Though set in Ireland in the 1960's, this is a novel as timeless as it is independent of location. Comparisons to "Catcher In The Rye" fail to understand the universal connection of Paddy Clarke to anyone, regardless of race, nationality or religion. A must read.
