100 word review: Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha

The narrator is 10 year old Paddy growing up in Barrytown, north Dublin. The plot follows his childish adventures and watches him grow up although at first it seems like random digressions of his day and different stories but develops to a sad and heart-warming conclusion. His innocence to the situations and child interpretations bring humour, sadness and give the novel an original perspective. From what I've seen, teenage audiences haven't really enjoyed this but I liked it and anyone who grew up in the 1960s will definitely love it. If you like comedy and kids, give it a try.
