DEAD MAN TALKING by RODDY DOYLEWBN BOOK BLURB: Click here for details.
FIRST SENTENCE (Chapter One): I met Joe again the night before his funeral.
MEMORABLE MOMENT {Page 65}: I slid into the front room. Joe was climbing back into the coffin.
MY THOUGHTS: For the better part of Dead Man Talking I admit to being mystified but then suddenly it all fell into place in a neat twist.
A quick, quirky read. Written in the first person and with a repetitious dialogue that proved to be very much a positive in what I felt was a unique and intriguing story with wonderfully well written down to earth characters.

I already liked the sound of it from Mr. T.'s comments, but I'm even more intrigued now. I must put it on my wish list.
Joe was climbing back into the coffin is a wonderful line! It sounds like an interesting read.
Love fun, quirky reads! Thanks for the heads up, as I haven't read that many Roddy Doyle books.
It's always nice to have a book you can read quickly like that.
I have heard good things about this book from several sources. Everyone seems to say that it was different. In my opinion that is a really good thing.
This does sound quirky and interesting! The first sentence and the memorable moment (especially) draw me in.
It's nice when a story has a twist that allows everything to fall into place.
I didn't expect that. Love a twist like that as well!!
This sounds so good- and very different from anything I have read. I like that there is a twist! Thanks for sharing. :)
I'm glad you liked this one, Tracy. It does sound good.
