Skippy Dies by Paul MurrayMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
This boarding-school saga is a darkly comic tale of Skippy's friends and tormentors at Seabrook College, a Catholic boys' school in Dublin. The death of teenager Daniel Juster, known as Skippy, opens the novel but this by no means is a depressing read. As the novel progresses, we get to know Skippy from various points of view - including that of Howard, who fled his job in finance to come back and teach history at his alma mater.
