Reviews

[Angus McKeogh · Rating 4 out of 5]

In the vein of Bright Lights, Big City and Story of My Life. Literary Brat Pack fare and I loved it.

[Eddie · Rating 5 out of 5]

A perfect short story. No point in rehashing the plot as that isn't a review. McInerney is a superb writer. Amazing so much (plot, emotion, characterization, ending) can be put in such a short amound of words.
