Recenzii

Conaghan is a sublime storyteller who can make the reader hang on his every last word (and all of the others)
An emotional rollercoaster of a book, written with so much heart it bounces off of the page . A bold, life-affirming read
This beautiful novel deals sensitively with the topics of illness, love, sexuality, friendship and dignified death
Beautifully observed and hilariously uncomfortable
Laughter is inevitable
This is a portrayal of young male bonding, complete with all the lively banter of true camaraderies, at its most tender and affectionate
An outstanding debut, packed with energy and a brilliant distinctive voice
Believable, funny, brave and vulnerable young male characters . thought-provoking novel . drama and tension in plenty . irrepressible humour
Humanity and humour thread through the challenging storyline from the first page to the very last
A hard-hitting, heartbreaking tale . One sentence after another knocks the reader out
The characterisation is superb . A remarkably brave story
Conaghan's lightness of touch and sense of humour shine through this heartbreaking story, and each of the characters lingers in the imagination long after the final page
Although it's heartbreaking at times, there's also tenderness and humour . T he tremendous empathy with which Conaghan writes about young people is impressive
