Title: OK magazine article, bad book
Review: I'm a sucker for Irish history, lore, you name it. I grabbed this book without a second thought (or glance) and paid the price. It's just not good. The idea is great and it appears that the author was offered a sum of money for a minimum 100 pages about the subject of the origins of Danny Boy. Well, there's no real story behind it so that leaves 99 pages which he fills with name-dropping, Irish history (not bad, but for a different book), and then the capper is a 30 page list of people who have sung the song. On top of all that, there's several annoying typos.Reread Trinity instead.
Is the review positive or negative?
