A National Book Foundation 5 Under 35 Honoree Winner of the Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award, the Guardian First Book Award, and the Rooney Prize for Irish Literature Enter the small, rural town of Glanbeigh, a place whose fate took a downturn with the Celtic Tiger, a desolate spot where buffoonery and tension simmer and erupt, and booze-sodden boredom fills the corners of every pub and nightclub. Here, and in the towns beyond, the young live hard and wear the scars. Amongst them, there's jilted Jimmy, whose best friend Tug is the terror of the town and Jimmy's sole company in his search for the missing Clancy kid; Bat, a lovesick soul with a face like "a bowl of mashed up spuds" even before Nubbin Tansey's boot kicked it in; and Arm, a young and desperate criminal whose destiny is shaped when he and his partner, Dympna, fail to carry out a job. In each story, a local voice delineates the grittiness of post boom Irish society. These are unforgettable characters rendered through silence, humor, and violence. Told in Barrett's vibrant, distinctive prose, Young Skins is an accomplished and irreverent debut from a singular new voice in contemporary fiction.Binding Type: Paperback

It is ok
It is decent. Looks like it would work well. It is a little bulky. I bought this one and another one from a different seller. I returned this one due to the thickness of the arm. It was a little bulky. One thing to be mindful of there is no adjustment for the radius of the arm. Depending on how you position it your phone can be quite far away from the screen, it may not bother you, but for me I wanted them as close as possible

Strong Magnet, Great Price!
Mounted in less than 10 seconds. The magnet is super strong and holds the phone through all the bumps the road throws at it. The two thumb screws make for fast angle adjustment. The mount location puts the phone in the perfect spot for viewing without obstructing the view of the road. This phone holder is built well beyond its price point! I will be buying a second one for the wife's Tesla.

Works better than expected. Very good
Color: Black, Color: Black
Very nice fit and finish. Feels very high quality. Phone charges very quickly and doesn’t heat up as much. It charges through my heavy duty case that i thought i would have to replace as it doesn’t charge on other charges that ive tested. Very impressed.
