It's not often that I laugh aloud when reading a book but Superchick literally had me in tears. To me what makes this book is that it is so true to life. The portrayal of the Irish Mammy with her scones and devotion to her son was a particular favourite of mine. I especially loved the incident where she practically poisoned the parish priest with countless cups of tea! The lads interview with TnaG was another absolutely hilarious incident not to mention the Dublin taxi-driver - how many times have we all been there? As for the ending I thought it was excellent. For me the typical Hollywood ending would have been a massive letdown. At the end of Superchick I was left with a smile on my face. Fantastic read. Highly recommended.
High Fidelity on Craic!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! The humour and sarcasm were great and particularly because the humourous situations evoked a huge amount of empathy. Had me laughing outloud and reciting passages to friends constantly! Reminded me of High Fidelity by Nick Hornby but with more sarcasm and alot more Craic!
A great read.....

Highly entertaining, I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a good laugh. It is one of those books that has no dull periods, and is hard to read without a constant grin on your face.
Long Haul Laugh

I brought the book on a long haul flight, and read it from cover to cover, laughing outloud the whole time. I couldn't put the book down, I wanted to know what the lads would get upto next. Can't wait for the next one.

Well, maybe that's a bit over the top. It was a good read though. I can recommend it to anyone with a sense of humour.
