Title: I am confused by the accolades this book received
Review: Though this book didn't inspire a passionate response from me (I thought it was fine, at best) I am stunned by the unanimous raves it has received. I like the person, Nuala, very much, but as far as the literary attributes of the piece, this is no "Angela's Ashes." There is no comparison between this work and any great intensely rich autobiography. Unfortunately, because I wanted to love it, I must lump this book with other reading 'lite' and suggest that it would be good summer beach fare or for a plane trip. It requires very little attention and contemplation to breeze through the passages. I know I am practically alone in my opinion, but as a seasoned reader I would suggest that if reading is your most beloved pastime this will probably disappoint.
