| | 1. |  | The Deportees: and Other Stories
from Viking Adult
Price: $16.47
Customer Review:
If you are a fan of Doyle's early work, this collection of short stories revisits the style and tone of such works as The Commitments (which is revisited to some degree), The Snapper and The Van, the ever solid Barrytown Trilogy. The tone is generally lighter and more enjoyable than more recent... more info

| | 2. |  | The Woman Who Walked into Doors
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $11.20
Customer Review:
I would recommend this book to a friend. It is not a happy story, but the main character is immensely likable, and her story is interesting and worth reading. I liked Paula Spencer. She's funny, insightful, vulnerable and charming. She is also flawed, which makes her seem very real to me. It was... more info

| | 3. |  | Paula Spencer
from Viking Adult
Price: $7.99
Customer Review:
I'm surprised to be recommending a book about an alcoholic middle aged mum so enthusiastically, but if you read Paula Spencer and don't love it, there's a good chance you're an idiot.
I didn't pick this up for a couple of weeks after I bought it - I wasn't ready for what I thought might be a... more info

| | 4. |  | The Barrytown Trilogy
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $12.24
Customer Review:
Though Doyle never intended to write a trilogy, his first three novels are so true-to-life and so representative of north Dublin that it is easy to see why they are now grouped as a "trilogy." All are set in the same blighted neighborhood, an area of overcrowded tenements, unemployment, and... more info

Roddy Doyle was born in Dublin in 1958 and saw his first novel, "The Commitments" published in 1987. It was later adapted for the big screen, a version that saw Star Trek's Colm Meaney and a very young Andrea Corr among the cast.

| | 7. |  | Rover Saves Christmas
from Scholastic Paperbacks
Price: $4.99
Customer Review:
Roddy Doyle became an instant hit with my nine year old (and thirteen year old) when we read 'The Giggler Treatment' together. A story whose central theme revolved around Mr Mack stepping into a pile of freshly laid poo and how Rover came to the rescue.
Consequently we immediately ordered the... more info

Customer Review:
A good friend of mine recommended this as an amazing book. Then I went to buy it at the book store and couldn't recall the author so I asked and the store clerk nearly lost his pants he was so excited I was buying it. 'One of my favorite books' he told me. So I was pretty excited that this book was... more info
