    Dublin Soul
  

*by E***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2008*

This is the original Roddy Doyle novel from which came the 1991 classic film, The Commitments.  It's a classic, humorous drama-interlaced story about the formation, rise and fall of a fictional soul band from northside Dublin.The story illustrates how two young men aspiring to respectively play guitar and bass are encouraged by their friend-turned-manager to figure out how to play what he calls Dublin Soul.  The manager places an ad in the local paper and starts recruiting members both seasoned and still learning, young and - in the case of trumpet player and spiritual guide Joey the Lips Fagen- old.  The Commitments gain an immediate following from the moment they start gigging, but they're bogged down by the antics of singer Declan "Deco" Coffe and  Joey's "interactions with the female singers.  These particulars contribute, along with other matters, to the groups sudden and unexpected demise.Anybody who has both read this book and viewed the film (I actually watched the film dozens of times and purchased the book only recently) will be quick to pick up both the subtle differences between book & film and the immediate ones.  For instance, the pivotal end scene when the Commitments disband is amid a mistake made by Joey The Lips Fagen over the supposed arrival of R&B sensation Wilson Pickett during a gig.  In the original story, the group simply breaks up.  Also, according to the book, four characters reconvene after the original group folds with talk of incorporating four others at a later time.  In the film, all the members go their separate ways, except for the two original members, Derek Scully (bass) and Outspan Foster (guitar), who continue to perform together.When first I read the story, it grabbed me so immediately that I stayed up into the night reading.  Even though, Mr Doyle didn't use common quotation symbols to indicate characters' lines, it was still quite an immediate read.  (I suppose, that's got partly to do with already knowing the essentials of the story.)

    Rich, Real, Inventive and So Much Soul
  

*by L***Y on Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2022*

I liked this as much as the movie that they made from this book.  Maybe even more.  I couldn't put it down and laughed out loud many times.  I have most of the songs forming the Soul of the book (and remember when they were released) and verily believe he captured the soul of his characters/friends from No. Dublin. Went out an bought more of his books.  Dialogue, dialogue, dialogue.  Oh My!
