It was good. It was really funny. I actually didn't think it was as depressing as a lot of people says it is. It also teaches you a lot about Ireland and inspired me to appreciate what I have a little bit more. :D

Only read if you are in a healthy mental state, cause this book is one of the most depressing stories I have ever read.

I have had this on my shelf for a long time but never read it. Due to a book club, it was time. I liked the lyrical way even the darkest things were explained. But there is so much heartache. It had to be listened to in small chunks. I do recommend the audio because it is read by the author and he sings the certain song sections. It'll be interesting to see how the book club will go.

One of my favorites, and the only full-length book that I've read more times than Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
