	Amazon.ca: Paddy clarke ha ha ha: Books: Roddy Doyle (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Paddy and his best friend Kevin are part of a neighborhood gang that sets fires in vacant buildings, routinely teases and abuses younger kids and plays in forbidden places.
		As Paddy becomes aware that his parents' marriage is disintegrating, Doyle's control of his protagonist's voice remains unerring, and the gradual transition of Paddy's thoughts from the hurly-burly of play and pranks to a growing fear and misery about his father's alcoholic and abusive behavior is masterfully realized.
		As Paddy grows up and starts to realize that there are real problems and issues out there that really do affect him and that he's got to come to terms with, the narration does an admirable job of maturing along with the boy.

	Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha
		Paddy’s mother is staring at Da, waiting from him to answer, and the baby is biting into her finger, hard as Paddy says.
		Conformation that Paddy does not understand is sealed when he asks “ — Has she gone for 99s?” His father doesn’t reply, the silence filling the void between him and Ma — unbeknown to Paddy, whose innocent question remains unanswered.
		Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha is written in the first person, and is therefore devoid of the authorial omniscience and intrusiveness that would allow Doyle to relate to the reader.

		Paddy Clarke is ten years old, knows important things about mice, has a little brother he likes to call Sinbad and spends most of his time getting up to no good.
		Paddy and his friends stage a Viking funeral for a dead rat, run the Grand National over the neighbors' hedged gardens, set fires at building sites, rob ladies' magazines (because they were the easiest) from shops, and torment each other, forming fluid alliances and watching for weaknesses.
		Sinbad, Paddy's younger brother, is a tag-along nuisance, tolerated primarily as a victim for experimentation, such as forcing a capsule of lighter fluid between his teeth and lighting it.

	A Portrait of Ireland as a Young Nation
		Paddy, under the pretense of alleviating the racket from Sinbad, compounds the problem by threatening physical violence against Sinbad.
		Paddy experiences some of the emotions that a war would bring when he runs through the cement pipes that are placed along the trench.
		Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man are both hopelessly intertwined with Irish History.

	Eye Weekly - BOOKS: Roddy Doyle -- Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha - 08.19.93
		Narrated by the 10-year-old Paddy, it's a different sort of book than the novels of the Barrytown trilogy (so named for their setting in Barrytown, a working class suburb of Dublin).
		For instance, Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha cannot be described simply as a book full of Irish people yelling at each other (the book takes place in 1968, an era in which, according to Doyle, swearing wasn't popular).
		The passage in which Paddy describes his favorite saint's story, that of Father Damien and the lepers, portrays the value of a child's imaginative powers without getting mushy about it all.

	Roddy Doyle, Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha reads like a whirlwind of youthful pep that may leave the unwary reeling dizzily in its wake.
		Paddy is set in 1960s Barrytown and is told entirely through the eyes of a 10-year-old boy.
		Paddy believes that, through vigilance and good intentions, he can stem the tide that divides his parents and reknit his family.

		Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha is essentially a sad book about unfulfilled hopes (ha ha ha is a refrain of derision, not merriment), but the framework is comic; it isn't, in the conventional sense, a "literary" novel, and as such it was an unusual winner for the Booker, in 1993.
		It was therefore important to Doyle the writer that while his parents were happy in their youth, in telling their story they rarely, if ever, bemoaned the absence of the world in which they grew up.
		In just 15 years he has evolved from a young whippersnapper rattling the cage of Irish literature to revered man of letters: not quite a father figure, but perhaps an establishment one.

	Powell's Books - Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha by Roddy Doyle
		The Snapper was published in 1990 and has also been made into a film, directed by Stephen Frears.
		It was an approach by Doyle to tell his story by a child's point of view because he realized that a child has the purest eye, as it is a Gods weapon in some way...we see that in the book children have a pattern on denying the validity of truth but not lying...
		The character of Sinbad seemed the most ideal until to the part when he says, "the devil tempts me." this part was funny but at the same time annoying for a patient child like him to say such a thing...

		There are many factors which suggest how Doyle has succeeded in creating a 'triangular relationship' between himself the reader and the narrator — Paddy Clarke — so that the reader has a greater awareness of the predicament that Paddy is in.
