Skippy Dies by Paul Murray

4.0

It's Donnie Darko in a South Dublin boarding school, but is rhythmical and self-aware enough to be an enjoyable read throughout. Lots of great swinging between very distinct narrators and perspectives, and a very fine sense of humour. The cast of characters is extensive and all are well-defined and memorable. The best thing about Skippy Dies is that it reminded me that books can still stir up strong feelings in me. I can wholeheartedly recommend it, but it's a pretty big read, so be sure that you have a lot of time on your hands before you commit to this one.
