I agree but I think Roddy Doyle gets away with it especially with the Barry town Trilogy when he is not being too serious. Not quite so keen on it in his two most recent books though.
On the whole I thought it was a good book. I did enjoy Alex for about half of the book but his need for his thesaurus became a little tiresome by the end. Self indulgent maybe, but aren't most books to a certain extent.
I read this book quite a few years ago and would recommend it but I did find it a more difficult read than some of his other works; A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, Cancer Ward and First circle were definitely more readable. Cancer Ward is probably the best IMO.
It's an old thread but I thought this might be part of the topic
Does anyone have any elaborate ways of remembering difficult spellings. Here are two that I've heard of:
Isosceles ( I Sat On Swanage Cliffs Eating Lovely Egg Sandwiches).
Necessary ( Never Eat Cress Eat Salmon...
I also would recommend "To Kill a Mocking Bird."
Such an easy read; great fun with Scout in her overalls; such emotion, I've just finished it, don't know how I've missed it all these years.
It's a must read and a "classic" that won't give you any pain.
