Review

Brilliant, unique . . . reading fiction will never be the same again -- Roddy Doyle

The most astonishing Irish novel for many years, a masterpiece - Sunday Independent

The Butcher Boy takes Irish literature to a place it has never been before. Both familiar and extraordinary, it is the most significant novel to emerge from Ireland this decade -- Neil Jordan

An insidious, funny, breathtakingly horrific novel set in small-town Ireland, switching from mischief to madness as an adolescent obsession turns Dennis the Menace into Jack the Ripper - Observer

An intense, disturbing and original novel . . . prose which races yet lets you miss nothing -- Alan Sillitoe

Compelling, unashamedly horrible, memorable and sensitive - Times Literary Supplement
