Hilariously touching and outrageously unforgettable: Mark Haddons Christopher Boone meets Holden Caulfield on one *#@! of a journey. . .

Dylan Mint has Tourettes. Being sixteen is hard enough, but Dylans life is a constant battle to keep the bad stuff in the swearing, the tics, the howling dog that seems to escape whenever he gets stressed... But a routine visit to the hospital changes everything. Overhearing a hushed conversation between the doctor and his mother, Dylan discovers that hes going to die next March. So he grants himself three parting wishes or Cool Things To Do Before I Cack It. But as Dylan sets out to make his wishes come true, he discovers that nothing and no-one is quite as he had previously supposed.

Recenzijos

I loved Dylan Mint. He made me laugh out loud and his tenacity had me rooting for him from the first page * Stephen Kelman * Its the F-word funny, foul-mouthed, fantastic! * Charlie Higson * So surprising and charming it would be hard not to feel a little uplifted * Observer * Beautifully observed and hilariously uncomfortable ... Mint has a certain charm, and his mangled language and omnivorous approach to slang suggest a lively, inquiring brain * Philip Womack, Guardian * Energetic, confident and compassionate ... Theres a genuine exuberance about it ... ( Conaghan) is one to watch * Scotland on Sunday * Entertaining * Big Issue * One of the books most engaging characteristics, its often hilarious (and often scatological) humour This is a portrayal of young male bonding, complete with all the lively banter of true camaraderie, at its most tender and affectionate * Irish Times * Hilarious * Stylist *
