no one stands up for themselves.

Introducing a rude character could have been quirky and challenging but people just accepting the unbelievable rudeness was baffling and unrealistic, absolutely nobody confronted their vileness. They all seamed to have no backbone, no confidence to speak out and thought it was ok to be treated so appallingly. Who would want to read a book filled with these types of characters? Not me thats for sure.

Enjoyable read, but not to listen to.

Good story, well told. Did not think the performance did the story justice. Overall I enjoyed it.

Cliche ridden

This harmless story is peopled with stereotypes and caricatures. Not representatives of modern day Ireland.

Absolutely Brilliant

You just couldn’t help feeling like you knew each of the friends individually. It was happy, sad, thoughtful & funny. What to hear what happens next! Love it from start to finish.

Lovely Book,

A lovely light book to listen to while out walking. I really enjoyed the characters, predictable but enjoyable in a feel good way. The narration was excellent and the narrator really brought personality to the characters.
