Title: Predictable and boring
Review: A very good friend that knows of my admiration for irish literature gave me this book as a present. Although my predisposition was the best, it was terribly hard even just to end it. I found it boring, uninteresting, dull and full of easy literary cliches. My friend told me it is regarded as an outstanding book in the second half of twentieth century literature in Ireland, but I only managed to finish its less than two hundred pages out of sheer stubborness.Sure Mr. McGahern writes well, but in my opinion it is not only that that counts.
