Review title: A fawning portrayal from a fan, not a historian
Product review: Sadly, Frank O'Connor seems to have been more of an idolizer of Collins than an historian interested in focusing the reader on the important events of his life. One has to wade through multiple tepid apologies for his occasional boorishness, though O'Connor seems to find these stories irresistably cute and keeps going back to him again and again. It may be that the book is best suited to those who have read extensively the other biographers and historians so that this could be understood in context. The Big Fellow is not for the novice Irish history student, because you learn precious little from it and have to work hard to get that.
