Skippy Dies, by Paul Murray

challenging dark emotional sad medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

Skippy Dies was a hard read for me, but only because it was written so well. Tragedy builds upon tragedy and glimmers of redemption are ruthlessly stamped out. But even as the book culminates in desperation and disillusionment, Murray allows for pinpricks of hope to remain.
