Review
FATHER FRANK is a warm, funny, blisteringly good read that has the angels on its side, Tony Parsons
A dazzling first novel - funny, thoughtful and original, Stephen Fry
Refreshing, Adele Parks
A light-hearted comic novel with the feel-good factor of an Ealing comedy, and some cracking one-liners, Greg Eden, Bertrams in The Bookseller
The only novel I've ever read that tackles the fundamental issues of God, Irishness, advertising, love and cab driving all at once. Fast-moving, witty and highly digestible, it slips down like a fresh Eucharist wafer, Tim Lott
Original and comedic...very cool, very pithy, Express
Warm, tender, funny and engaging from start to finish. It's full of sharply-written dialogue, filled with characters you can take to your heart, and driven by a classic will they/won't they narrative, Scotsman

5.0 out of 5 stars
A great read. Thank you.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 January 2016Verified Purchase
Without a doubt a great book to read. It takes you on a journey of being brought up in London touching on the London Irish background and all which that brings. It allows chords to be struck and the opportunity to reflect on growing up in this environment in an Irish household. This book is real, funny and a genuine great read. I don't always read fiction but it has allowed me time to escape... Could not put the book down. Well done to Paul Burke the author.

Pleasant summer read

Read this on holiday. Great feel good story. The main character, Father Frank, is likable and generally an all round good egg. The plot moves on at a good steady pace and Ll bit together well.

My group thoroughly enjoyed it, and they're a tough crowd

Haven't read the book yet but have read previous Father Frank book and that was hilarious. This book was read by my reading group, but I was absent and so didn't get to read it. My group thoroughly enjoyed it, and they're a tough crowd. Looking forward to reading it.

Laugh-out-loud funny, shout-out-loud moving.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 July 2001Verified Purchase
Anyone who was bought up in a Catholic environment will savour every word in this brilliant book. Paul Burke managed to capture the whole London-Irish scene with razor sharp accuracy, snappy wit and touching observations. It's the story of a man's choice of career and the way he influences, and is influenced by, those around him. I found myself laughing out loud and then wincing with pain, all in one chapter! I haven't enjoyed reading as much as this for years.
