“very intelligent writing.”

• Rated 1 stars

“Boring. Stereotypical Irish melodrama that did nothing for me. I ended up flipping through a few pages so I can't say that I read it. It makes me wonder about the mental age of the judges!”

“one of the best....and thanks to my friend Gerry who gave it to me”

• Rated 2 stars

“Dark and difficult to read. I kept going because the book is a Man Booker Winner. In the end, I appreciated the book but never liked it. ”

• Rated 0 stars

“I enjoyed it, and as with all books, I always finish them...I can't say it was an absolute favourite. I became very impatient with them all.”

• Rated 3 stars

“Wonderful writing but characters difficult to like.”

• Rated 2 stars

“It's supposedly a good book but I had a hard time finishing it. It was not that captivating.”

• Rated 2 stars

“Too dramatic - everything about it was too dramatic.”

• Rated 5 stars

“An Irish author who has a way with words that delights - the story a typical dysfunctional family handleing the death of a brother/son”

• Rated 4 stars

“Wonderful writing, worthy of study. She has much to say and she isn't afraid to hit you with it. I'd like to read this again some time and tear it into digestible pieces. It's quite a meal and I didn't get it all the first time through. Questions: Why so much time on Ada and so little time on Liam? Grade: A”
