"Extravagantly entertaining . . . One of the great pleasures of
this novel is how confidently Paul Murray] addresses such disparate
topics as quantum physics, video games, early-20th-century
mysticism, celebrity infatuation, drug dealing, Irish folklore and
pornography." --Dan Kois, "The New York Times Book Review"
"Murray's humor and inventiveness never flag . . . "Skippy Dies"
leaves you feeling hopeful and hungry for life." --"Entertainment
Weekly" (Grade: A)
"Dazzling . . . It's the "Moby-Dick" of Irish prep schools . . . In
short, it's like childhood. In shorter, like life." --Jess Walter,
"The Washington Post Book World" (a pick for Best Fiction of 2010)
"Funny, tragic, thoroughly captivating . . . One of the most
enjoyable books of the year." --Michael Berry, "San Francisco
Chronicle"
"Skippy is so desperately, painfully alive that you hope the
mere act of reading about him will save him . . . A virtuosic
display you'd expect from a writer with the confidence to kill off
his title character in the title." --Radhika Jones, "Time"
