John Boyne recommends
 Mark II (2006) Chris Farnell "Assured, lively and honest. A very bright debut by a young novelist." |  Tenderwire (2006) Claire Kilroy "A beautifully written story of a young musician ... Kilroy is easily one of the best young writers around." | Mac Slater Hunts the Cool (2008) (Mac Slater Coolhunter, book 1) Tristan Bancks "Where were the books like this when I was a kid?" |
The Slap (2008) Christos Tsiolkas "One of the truly great novels of the new millenium." | The Solitude of Prime Numbers (2009) Paolo Giordano "This is everything a debut novel should be." | The Very Thought of You (2009) Rosie Alison "Without question one of the best debuts I've read in recent years." |
The Golden Mean (2009) Annabel Lyon "Extraordinary... Fascinating... Brings the ancient world back to life with a splendour I haven't seen since I, Claudius. A triumph." | New Town Soul (2010) Dermot Bolger "A terrific read." | Room (2010) Emma Donoghue "Room is one of the most profoundly affecting books I've read in a long time. I read the book over two days, desperate to know how their story would end." |
The Violin of Auschwitz (2010) Maria Angels Anglada "Anglada writes with elegance and subtlety, the brevity of the story only adding to its emotional power." | The Fields (2013) Kevin Maher "I absolutely LOVED the Fields." | Holding (2016) Graham Norton "One of the more authentic debuts I've read in recent years... A fine novel." |
