A Star Called Henry by Roddy Doyle
Fiction-Net Rating
A historical tale marking a new turn in Roddy Doyle's writing. Born in the slums of Dublin in 1902, his father a one-legged whorehouse bouncer, Henry Smart has to grow up fast. He eventually becomes a Fenian, a rebel, a republican legend - one of Michael Collins's boys, an assassin on a stolen bike.
A Star Called Henry failed to capture my interest. What saves this novel from being an unworthy read, is Roddy Doyle's ability to create memorable characters.
