  “This is a great Bildungsroman, showing the internal development of an artist from his childhood to his early adult life. One of the important messages of the novel is the impact of how and where one grows up. In this case Ireland with all its political and religious conflicts helps to create a very conflicted young man, a young man who is in many ways a failure. There is a sad beauty to that failure.”

  “First half very good. Second part diminishes in value as he starts yammering on about Ireland and so forth.”

  “This book is a really good insite into Catholicism. If you're not Catholic and want to know more about the trials and tribulations of a guilt ridden religion, I reccomend this book strongly.”
