My review -
Josh,
a young man who finds great difficulty in social situations, goes up to
university with one of his two best friends, Jess. She is in another faculty
and begins to make new friends – people Josh doesn’t think much of. Sean, from
a very poor background who has grown up in The Troubles in Belfast, is put in
the room next door – on the floor reputed to be haunted. Josh continues to find
friendship difficult whereas Sean is a girl-magnet. Their unlikely friendship
flourishes and Sean is very helpful to Josh in trying to resolve the goings-on
in his room. Can it really be haunted?
This
book sensitively explores the relationships of two young men who have grown up
very differently but who are mutually supportive in a time of upheaval for them
both. It’s quite funny in places and a very easy, enjoyable read. Definitely a
winner for me.
