Title: Moving and Entertatining
Review: I was very annoyed to find that some people feel this book has no plot. The plot is clearly building up a believable, often amusing, and constantly entertaining image of childhood, which can then be shattered due to the family rift that occurs towards the end. A semi-autobiography, this book touches on the element of childhood that so many people have forgotten. A clear, beautfiul, amusing, and moving portrait of Irish childhood. Being Irish myself, I find no difficulties comprehending the language, and am dismayed that others presume the Irish author should change his vocabulary for the benefit of his American readers. The Irish words will be at least obvious to any intelligent reader. A favourite book of mine....
