Stumled across the audio book in the Public Library i work in and i really enjoyed the german version of this book. I had to laugh real hard and was really into this irish/american ganster novel with lots of ups and downs. The life of main character Daniel McEvoy is in a bad place and it doesn't seem to get any better soon. This is the second novel by Colfer i've somehow encountered and i'm really hooked by the sense of humor and the characters - consider me a fan!
