I had a hard time keeping focused on this novel. I liked the concept of the story and I enjoyed some of the characters but it seemed that the novel didn’t flow right for me. I did finish reading it, as I wanted to know what happened in the end. The story takes place in Ireland and it centers on th...
I didn't know anything about this book before I picked it up. I just saw that it was written by an Irish author and the cover looked cool. (Yes, I judged.) It was actually pretty good.
