Summary

'Charming but unsentimental, Spirit Level is a hilarious and genuinely moving story about grief and friendship' IRISH TIMES

'It's touching, intriguing and GAS! About friendship and anxiety and ghosts and being a man. I enjoyed it very much' - Marian Keyes

'Spirit Level is an outrageously bingeable read. It is surprising, warm, inventive and a lot of fun' - Louise Nealon

'One of the funniest books I've read in a long time. Buy it now and cackle your way through the summer' - Killian Sundermann

'Craven pulled me in with his brilliant humour, only to make me feel genuine emotion. I'll never forgive him for this' - Seán Burke

Danny Hook is a directionless twenty-something year old fresh out of therapy. Dealing with his disappointed family and dead-end career, he's sure things couldn't get much worse, until a drink-driving accident leaves his best friend Nudge dead.
Danny also discovers he can see ghosts - but only when he's drunk. Saddled with a best friend who can't leave his side, they must figure out what's going on and why Nudge can't cross over. Can Danny negotiate family life, therapy and a ghost that refuses to fade into the background before time runs out?

Great dialogue, really well narrated.

Loved this book! I never write reviews but I will happily recommend this one. The canal scene in particular made me gasp, it was so vividly written! Buy it. You won’t regret it.

Darkly funny, strangely warm

This was a compelling listen, normally I just listen to audiobooks when I’m walking somewhere but this one I couldn’t stop listening too and pretty much spent a whole day listening to it
