This is the first book I have ever read by Roddy Doyle. The story is told with both accuracy and sensitivity yet it took off on a few directions which made it drag a bit. The author really didn't get into Paula Spencer's battered soul until the last 50 pages or so. It took a lot of pre story to get to that point. I was hoping to get a bit more on life being a victim of domestic violence. I will say it was wel written and an acurate story told by a male author. He shows some sensitivity which was nice.
I bought this book because I had read an interview by J.K. Rowling in which she identified this book as her favorite. I find the insight by a gentlemen into the mind of a woman who had been abused among other things was very intense and amazing. I was not thrilled with the language and the some of the sexual content but the rest was amazing!
