Title: Ending left me hanging
Review: Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha deserves four stars for its great description of a child who, through experience, grows faster than his age. Doyle did an exceptional job of capturing the life of a ten year old. The book is written in a ten year old's "voice" including short sentences and many vingnettes. But it feels as if you are right there with Paddy, observing the same things, from fighting with his friends to watching his parents fight.I enjoyed reading this book but I have to say the ending although well written, was a short stop. It left me feeling incomplete, wondering what would've happened next. At the same time, Doyle did conclude the story at an interesting place that worked and that I liked but left me not knowing what to do next.
Is the review positive or negative?
