Bullfighting: Stories by Roddy Doyle

2.0

It's kind of unfair rating this book, because I wouldn't have bothered reading it if I'd realized it was short stories, since I rarely enjoy short stories. But I read it anyway - I had it from the library, I'd read everything else, I love Roddy Doyle, and it was light enough to carry around. And it was fine, but nothing more. Or maybe it's better to say that I liked the first story, but all the stories felt quite similar (scenes of a middle-aged family man), and they weren't interesting enough to me to bear the repetition. I'd have prefered to have read an extended version of one of the stories.
