( ) Enjoyable book - sequel to "The Last Catholic in America" (which I preferred). Neither book is so much a novel - i.e. with a plot that carries through from page 1 to resolution at the end of the story - as much as a collection of fictionalized reminiscenses. The book is somewhat episodic in that each chapter generally stands on its own as a capsulized entry, though the same characters continue to populate the entire book, providing cohesion and consistency. In general, it's a sweet book, though perhaps a little rough on the "fat, ugly kids" (speaking as a fat, ugly former high school kid, myself) - the author risks alienating half his potential audience. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

"Hilarious, touching, beautiful . . ." -Detroit News "A totally enjoyable novel with at least one laugh on every page." -Fresno Bee ". . . you'll never forget it." -Publishers Weekly Growing up on Chicago's South Side in the 1960s, Eddie Ryan is learning a lot-and not just from the Brothers at his all-boys Catholic high school. Eddie's world is populated by peculiar adults, oddball classmates, and puzzling girls-the greatest mystery of all. He takes it all in through the prism of his Catholic upbringing, which often deepens the mystery, but sometimes clarifies it, too. Entering Eddie Ryan's world will delight not only readers who grew up there with him, but also those too young to remember. This new edition of Do Black Patent Leather Shoes Really Reflect Up? includes a new introduction as well as discussion questions designed to help deepen the reading experience for both individuals and reading groups.
