The Guts (Paperback)

A visceral tragicomedy – as raw and as funny as anything [Doyle’s] written. - Olivia Cole, GQ

Remarkable, relevant and, surprisingly for a book that’s ostensibly about cancer, joyful. - Kevin Maher, The Times

Life-affirming and trimphant - Irish Post

A fond, comic treat. - Sunday Times

This is Doyle back in Barrytown and on top form, especially at the festival which closes a glorious book. - Harry Ritchie, Daily Mail

The Guts has life, and heart, and jokes. - Theo Tait, Guardian

The novel is probably the most contemplative that Doyle has written — as a meditation on the importance of family, it is at times almost unbearably moving. - Edmund Gordon, Sunday Times

Bright, jokey, wry and robust. - Patricia Craig, Independent

Unchanged is Doyle’s miraculous ability to serve up dialogue that fizzes with great, often quite rude jokes – but never at the expense of the emotions lying behind them. - Reader's Digest

As one does with old friends, you leap right back into the conversation as if you’ve never been apart... It’s got a bittersweet humour all its own. - Deborah Dundas, Toronto Star
