Recenzii

'A book! A book! Is that what you call it? I wouldn't use it to kill bluebottles. Why should I read about that useless looderamawn?' -- Mrs Hickey (The Mother) 'Our teacher used to say Maurice always had a way with words. The rest of us just called him a feckin' liar. ' -- Pa Quirke, Postman 'This book is written by a man who rarely pays for his own porter. Please buy a copy and it might encourage him to buy a round. But if I were you I wouldn't bother my arse reading it, 'tis a load of sh**e.' -- Tom Walshe, Publican 'A masterpiece of comedic writing - an irreverent chicken-soup for the soul, that will cheer you up, no matter what's going on in your world' -- The Clare Champion
