They’re always taking sides, bullying each other, and secretly wishing they didn’t have to. Paddy Clarke and his friends are not bad boys they’re just a little bit restless. Roddy Doyle has captured the sensations and speech patterns of preadolescents with consummate skill, and managed to do so without resorting to sentimentality. In Roddy Doyle’s Booker Prize-winning novel Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha, an Irish lad named Paddy rampages through the streets of Barrytown with a pack of like-minded hooligans, playing cowboys and Indians, etching their names in wet concrete, and setting fires. Witty and poignant–and adored by critics and readers alike–Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha charts the trumphs, indignities, and bewilderment of Paddy as he tries to make sense of his changing world. In this national bestseller and winner of the Booker Prize, Roddy Doyle, author of the “Barrytown Trilogy,” takes us to a new level of emotional richness with the story of ten-year-old Padraic Clarke. * All Partners were chosen among 50+ writing services by our Customer Satisfaction Team
