Hilarious, clever, great dialogues
"Funny" books can quickly get tedious; once you know the author's style you start to anticipate the jokes and the humour lessens with each one. Not with this one though. It's a long book, but kept me entertained from beginning to end. I listen to audiobooks at night as an alternative to reading because it keeps my husband awake when I have the light on. Listening to this probably disturbed his sleep more than a reading lamp, because I kept laughing. In addition to the humour, it's also a damned good novel. Well structured, good plot and great characterisation. I listened to it 2-3 months ago and it is as fresh in my mind as if I had finished it yesterday. I'll definitely be buying more of Bateman's books. Oh, and last but not least, the narration was fantastic. The voice felt completely right, the pacing was excellent and the Northern Irish accent was strong enough to suit the content without ever being difficult to understand.

Long but good
A slow book to start but you gradually get drawn into it and by the end don't want the book to finish. Superbly narrated as usual by Adam. Many laugh out loud parts!

Funny and poignant in equal measure
This book was a real delight, all the more enjoyable for being surprisingly funny, even laugh out loud at times, combined with a real sense of inevitable tragedy. I listened to the recording over several weeks and always returned to it with a real sense of anticipation. Thoroughly recommended.

Pity as the story was fairly amusing in between

real NI local feel to it
I'm not an expert, but have been to northern Ireland a few times.
I really enjoyed the advent of the narrator and the local expressions used by the characters.
Great story, great characters and great narrator.

Love the humour
One of my favourite authors - the hugely complex cast of characters that all connect by the end. Brilliant!
