When Mr. Dog Bites - Couverture rigide

I loved Dylan Mint. He made me laugh out loud and his tenacity had me rooting for him from the first page (Stephen Kelman)

It's the F-word - funny, foul-mouthed, fantastic! (Charlie Higson)

So surprising and charming it would be hard not to feel a little uplifted (Observer)

Beautifully observed and hilariously uncomfortable ... Mint has a certain charm, and his mangled language and omnivorous approach to slang suggest a lively, inquiring brain (Philip Womack, Guardian)

Energetic, confident and compassionate ... There's a genuine exuberance about it ... [Conaghan] is one to watch (Scotland on Sunday)

Entertaining (Big Issue)

One of the book's most engaging characteristics, its often hilarious (and often scatological) humour . This is a portrayal of young male bonding, complete with all the lively banter of true camaraderie, at its most tender and affectionate --(Irish Times)

Dylan Mint has Tourette's. Being sixteen is hard enough, but Dylan's life is a constant battle to keep the bad stuff in - the swearing, the tics, the howling dog that seems to escape whenever he gets stressed... But a routine visit to the hospital changes everything. Overhearing a hushed conversation between the doctor and his mother, Dylan discovers that he's going to die next March. So he grants himself three parting wishes or 'Cool Things To Do Before I Cack It'. But as Dylan sets out to make his wishes come true, he discovers that nothing - and no-one - is quite as he had previously supposed.
