This was a seminal book for people of my generation. i have read it twice and heard it once. Along with Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh this saw us from teenaghood into our 20s. Confronts darker sides of life head on bed does so hilariously, which in my opinion is the best way to educate.
Would like to take Mammy Walsh home with me, just saying!
