Title: A crock of gold??????
Review: I am not going to win any friends with this review. The people who buy this book are people buying into the whole Ireland myth of everyone being friendly and the craic being great. Pete himself buys into this whole ideal and at first the book chugs along with a dash of wit and a great pace... by the end there is no pace, no shades of light and dark and certainly no humour.Pete has written a book that is a crock of steaming drivel...not the crock of gold that most of the people who read this book will feel that it is. Clichéd, blinkered and tired. (And Pete, you aren't Irish, much as you'd like to be: - you're English-Get over it!)And in case anyone thinks this is a knock the Irish review, I live here and holiday exclusively around Ireland every year- but this is written with such unimaginative broad strokes that it deserves to have criticism heaped upon it... watch out for the Leprechauns there Pete, you Guinness drinking wild man you.
Is the review positive or negative?
