Title: Only for the strong of stomach
Review: This novel is only for those who are truly desperate to read anything and everything regarding Michael Collins. I did so, and enjoyed a few (but all too few) good points in the book. However, the writing style is rough and somehow the characters are too cardboard to ever make you care much about them. (If you're interested in Collins, you'll care anyhow and that gets you through; if not, forget it!) And the thesis about Collins' death, which is a major point of the book, is more than a little improbable. Give this a miss and read "The End of the Hunt" (Flanagan) or "High Heroic" (Fitzgibbon), or even "Terrible Angel" instead!
Is the review positive or negative?
