Customer Review #1:
One of J P Donleavys best
My Irish father bought this book years ago, one rainy day in a department store, He dragged me up the the top floor, I remember because he was very keen to get the latest J P Donleavy novel. After he had read it, I picked it up to see what all the fuss was about, and I was hooked immediately! After this I moved onto the Ginger Man then all his others, but this ones the best for me, this book is a classic!

Customer Review #2:
hilarious
This is, without a doubt, one of the funniest books Ive read. Donleavys bizarre wit and lyrical style are superb. If you enjoy absurd humor, you will love this book.

Customer Review #3:
One of the funniest books ever written
I am actually a publisher and we have a line called Humour Classics, in which we reissue out of print classics of humour. And a book I read many years ago, that I loved (I love all of J.P. Donleavey - he is one of my all-time favourite writers) is Fairy Tale of New York. I was checking on Amazon to see if it was available and in print. It is. But I was amazed no-one had done a review. SO here goes: its brilliantly funny, it would make a great film. The action sequences in the funeral parlour are superb. His prose style is pure magic. Read it!
