Recensioner i media

"A visceral tragicomedy - as raw and as funny as anything [Doyle's] written." -- Olivia Cole GQ "Remarkable, relevant and, surprisingly for a book that's ostensibly about cancer, joyful." -- Kevin Maher The Times "Life-affirming and trimphant" Irish Post "A fond, comic treat." Sunday Times "This is Doyle back in Barrytown and on top form, especially at the festival which closes a glorious book." -- Harry Ritchie Daily Mail
