About this listen
Set in contemporary Dublin and the surrounding countryside, Ghosts and Lightning is a picaresque account of Denny Cullen's life after he is called back home to attend his mother's funeral. Denny - a sweet-natured but disillusioned young man who feels powerless in the face of death, dope, and the dole queue - is the steadiest in a cast of unstable characters. Denny and his lads fill their empty days with hooliganism, raucous parties, violence, and even an exorcism, but their fearlessness and humor make them as irresistible as an expertly pulled pint of Guinness.

Ruined by the reader
This story is set in a specific, fairly working class part of Dublin and I'm not sure this reader can tell a Kerry accent from a Donegal one. His accent jumps from Dublin to Galway via Belfast, sometimes the same word. It's a bit like listening to a supposedly cockney narrator talk with a hodgepodge of London, Birmingham and Bristol accents. Casual local speech plays a big role in this book so please get someone who can pull it off
