Classic book, but very crass and sad. Lots of depressing content and sexual content. It brought intimate views of the poverty of Ireland in a wry humour.

Great writing and very detailed descriptions of life in poverty. I did find the ending to be a bit odd and lacking closure. I also found some of the details within this book to be unnecessary.
