Reviews

Patrick Freyne is a comic genius One of the year's funniest books ... witty, wise and worth returning to again and again Funny, smart, soulful and sometimes devastating, this book shows life in all its shades. It made me laugh and cry Warm, wry, charming, absorbing ... It's the most gorgeous and heartbreaking book about humans and why we need each other Funny and adorable I was reminded - very happily reminded - of Kurt Vonnegut. But Patrick Freyne is his own writer and this book is clever, lovely and great, great fun Patrick Freyne has a distinct and enviable gift for story-telling ... Full of humour and tenderness, this book is an absolute JOY One of the best-written, smartest and gosh-darn-it funniest books I've read in a very long while Hilariously, painfully, Freynefully brilliant Whether he's writing about his childhood on a military base, working in a kebab shop with a nazi in his teens, playing in punk bands in his twenties, or grappling with the question of whether to have children, Patrick Freyne is a writer of rare humour, depth, and humanity. These essays are a delight A cracking, sad, funny, honest, brave and hilarious read No one makes me laugh like Patrick Freyne Superb ... The stories move from breathtakingly vulnerable to extraordinarily funny, and all with such skill and lightness of touch. I loved it I don't know another writer who could balance poignancy and hilarity with such grace ... Goosebumps! Guffaws! It's got it all. I love this book Guffaw-out-loud funny A riotous read from the get-go ... An absolute tonic for our times F*cking fantastic. Patrick is a brilliant writer Lovely ... It's very worth reading A wonderful book ... done with a gorgeous twist of humour and great emotional insight ... One of my books of the year Exquisite ... One of the funniest writers in Ireland Immensely readable, warm, human and very, very funny Pixies were loud-quiet-loud. Patrick Freyne is funny-sad-funny. I really loved his new book Readers are sure to find themselves touched by Freyne's writing ... Delightful Freyne's thoroughly entertaining debut is a flash of warmth and wit in the darkness Genuinely moving ... [It] will evoke warmth in anyone who isn't totally sociopathic A delightful insight into the mind of the hilarious Patrick Freyne So honest, so funny, and most importantly, 11/10 for self-deprecation Brilliant ... An absolute mind hug Freyne's radar is precision-honed to find the madness within the mundane More moving that I ever expected and somehow funnier than I assumed Expand reviews
