A review by bbgood
Benny and Babe by Eoin Colfer

3.0

There is a lot of Irish slang that is confusing. I still don't know what hurlie is. But once I got used it not knowing half of what they were saying to each other, it was fine. Colfer as narrator was pretty funny, and the country is peppered with wonderfully entertaining characters. Especially Benny's Granda, who liked to tell stories, some of which might actually be true. Though most of advice is ripped from Yankee movies.

I found the book sad, though. Because of the first two pages, the prologue. It sets it up that Benny and Babe aren't really friends anymore, and after finishing the book that made me really sad.
