"Surviving Michael is unputdownable." Jean Grainger (Author of 'The Tour') "At the risk of being over-dramatic, this book had a bit of Steinbeck in Grapes of Wrath, a bit of Catcher in the Rye..." Ken Rossingnol "This may be the most original and unique novel I have read this year." Kristen's BOOKNOTES "I couldn't put this one down." Sohoapt "Awesome book. The characters are well developed, and very likeable." Michael S "Joseph Birchall is snapping at the heels of Roddy Doyle." Natalie On a hot summer's day, after their final school exams, five boys begin a game of dares in which one of them, Michael, will not survive. Fifteen years later, his four friends, Nick, Charlie, Danny and Liam, now in their thirties, have yet to truly come to terms with what happened that day. Then on the anniversary of Michael’s death, they begin the game of dares again. Only this time the dares are bolder, and the consequences more severe. Over one weekend, their game spirals out of control, and forces them, for the first time, to deal with the guilt of surviving Michael. Surviving Michael is a gritty, poignant, dark but often funny, coming of age story that will stay with you long after you finish the last page. Contains adult content and strong language.
