Title: A brilliant journey into the mind of a child
Review: By far Roddy Doyle's greatest novel to date, this brilliantly written, subtly plotted recreation fo childhood well deserved the Booker Prize. It remains the most truly insightfull book I have ever read. Previous reveiws have bemoaned the apparent lack of plot. This seems to suggest that they simply didn't read it all. There is a very strong plot going right through the novel, only it doesn'y take center stage, simply because the narrator - a 10 year old boy - fails to understand what is really happening around him until the very close of the novel, when his innocence is brought to an abrupt end... To say you should read this book is an understatement - you simply must read this book. A masterpiece.
