A review by sophronisba
Skippy Dies by Paul Murray

5.0

Loved. This. Book. Do not be misled by the fact that it took me a month-and-a-half to read it. It's fabulous. It's a long book (in all honesty, I think some judicious pruning could be done) and I read it very slowly, but I loved it.

I've been reading other reviews on GoodReads and saw several references to David Foster Wallace. I also thought of Wallace, but I thought this book was much more fun and deceptively lighter than Infinite Jest. More readable and not as self-indulgent.
