" Roddy Doyle must have been hard up for some cash and decided to publish this book. Sad to say, as much as I love him this was not his best. True, this was a collection of short stories that appeared in an Irish newspaper so, of course themes and development had to be truncated but, geez. Why publish a book with the stories? I mean, I was entertained a bit but this was certainly nothing to get excited over. "
