Another round of two pints from the ever-brilliant, always hilarious imagination of Roddy Doyle The next round in the beloved Two Pints series from the ever-brilliant, always hilarious imagination of bestselling author of The Commitments and Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha Two men meet for a pint - or three - in a Dublin pub. They chew the fat, set the world to rights and mourn friends gone- David Bowie, Prince, Princess Leia and Young Frankenstein. Around them the world of Brexit, Trump, and referendums storm, but some things - good things - never change. Inspired by the last five years of news, Roddy Doyle's Two for the Road offers a strong brew of Roddy Doyle's comic genius - to be downed in one riotous sitting, or savoured over, laugh after laugh.
These short, punchy sketches are wickedly funny, oddly affecting and completely life-affirming. * Sunday Mirror *
Very funny... The kind of book that you read in public at your own risk * Herald Scotland *
