Summary: ballykissangle;the arrival
Review: a warm and wonderful book for all ballykissangle fans. I love to read this book when the show is not the air. I recommend the second volume; a sense of place as well. I only wish they would write another volume!

Summary: Does an excellent job of capturing the spirit of the series.
Review: Ballykissangel: The New Arrival is a wonderful book that tells the story of Father Peter Clifford's arrival in the small Irish village of Ballykissangel. This book tells the story of the first season of the renowned television series. The book does an excellent job of capturing the spirit of the series as well as further developing the characters to paint the picture of a close knit community made up of interesting and intriguing characters. You will fall in love with the town and it's community. This book is a quick and easy read. It is definately hard to put down. A great story.

Summary: Totally delightful!
Review: Based on the series with the same name, Ballykissangel is a wonderfully delightful book. The characters are comical but real, interesting and so very likeable. I look forward to each coming installment although, unfortunately, I do know how the story ends. I would encourage anyone who does not know the whole storyline to purchase each subsequent edition of the book- the ending is absolutely shocking! I cried for hours! It would be good if more stories like Ballykissangel were written - stories with real characters that you learn to love.

Summary: A pleasant escape
Review: If you have seen all the first year's television episodes nothing is new here. However, when the daily routine is too much it is nice to be able to sit and visit at our leisure with friends in Ballyk. Humor and drama without blood or recreational sex. I liked it enough, even after having seen all the tv episodes, to want the 2nd volume.

Summary: Good read, a nice reflection of the series
Review: It is a very good story. It reflects the series. The only thing that lacks from the televeision series is the sight jokes. The book tells the story and the feeling of the storybook town and its inhabitants.

Summary: You Will Love It If You Loved the Series
Review: That says it all. And I loved the PBS series. Very funny, very good at capturing life in a small village in Ireland.
