A story about "Oh, Play That Thing"

Oh, Play That Thing

by Roddy Doyle

This book sang and strutted like the jazz of Louis Armstrong. I never read a Star Called Henry, which I’ve heard is better than Oh Play that Thing. I felt like not reading Star, that I missed some things in Play. But if you love music, like I do, you’ll love this book.
