Roddy Doyle has captured the sensations and speech patterns of preadolescents with consummate skill, and managed to do so without resorting to sentimentality.

they can be poignant, sometimes excruciating, even transcendent (or, at worst, a kind of wallowing), but, in the end, I don't really respond to them unless there is some other aspect of life that they address at the same time.

This book is dedicated to.

Week three: Roddy Doyle explains how he came to pen his Booker winner. I'd finished The Van, my third novel, the previous November and I remember being told, more than once, that it was the last book I'd write for a long time, until after the baby, and the other babies, had been fattened and educated. They were joking - I think - the friends who announced my retirement. But it worried me. I was a teacher, and now I was a father. But the other definition I'd only been getting the hang of, novelist, was being nudged aside, becoming a hobby or a memory.

Paddy Clarke, a ten-year-old boy who longs to be a missionary, experiences life's joys and setbacks--specifically his ma and da's fights--as he grows up in Liffey, Ireland, in the late 1960s. By the author of The Van. Winner of the Booker Prize.
  • Brendan Behan once wrote, "It's nice to be Irish, but would you want your daughter to marry one?" Well, I married an Irishman, and I recognize so much of the culture in this book. The story is mainly about clever--oh SO clever-boys who grow up in a post-war Ireland that is depressed financially, repressed by the Church and family rules, fathers who take to beating their progeny and of course drinking. These little boys have little to play with, and using their imagination to follow their curiosity, invent games more dangerous than rugby, built structures for fights, complete with traps. They have fun, they bleed, they make up stories for their Ma's about their black eyes and ruined Sunday jackets. But the writing is excellent, I could feel every punch and feel every kiss. Much affection accompanies the ongoing "wars". So HA HA Paddy Clarke and thank you, Roddy Doyle for a brilliant and moving book.

  • Voice driven and full of fun, tragedy and exhuberance! Must read.

  • I found book tedious. Much of book was about the school boys and their misdeeds, their bullying and fighting. The last quarter of the book dealt with how he handled his family issues but book never revealed the cause of the issues. I would not recommend this book.

  • I bought this book because it had a good price on Book Bub, decent reviews, and a Booker prize, I but couldn’t get interested enough in the characters and story. It was fine.

  • After reading this book, I am almost inclined to go back and change my review of David Mitchell's Black Swan Green, which owes a tremendous debt to Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha.

    Doyle's book is a marvel not because of a particularly ambitious plot but rather because he captures the fickle nature of pre-adolescence as experienced by the pre-adolescent. I don't say this to belittle the family drama the eponymous character lives through. However, the drama is especially compelling only because we get a truly believable stream of consciousness narrative that magnifies the banality of it all in much the same way it would be magnified in any child's mind.

    Stream of consciousness narratives can be difficult to follow at times. Even though this one, like many others, is chronologically non-linear, it is not willfully opaque. It moves authentically through Paddy's days with his friends and schoolmates, juxtaposing his peer relationships with his family ones.

    Doyle's book is a pleasure to read, and stylistically brilliant. There is every reason pick it up. And pair Black Swan Green with this one, not Catcher in the Rye.

  • This was my second Roddy Doyle novel and I loved it. The voice is incredibly, wonderfully strong and the story so small and yet so very, painfully, universally large ...

  • I recognized myself every page. Brought back memories that were long gone (I’m 66). Non stop prodigious crafting totally fun

  • Great book, fast paced read...
