Summary: The Mammy
Review: The Browne family of Ireland is a big family one that has seven count them seven children six boys and one little girl. Than unexpectedly there father who they called Redser died. He left his wife now a widow behind with seven children and pretty much no money. In a way these brought these Browne kids together they would watch each others back they had a saying in the book "if you messed with one Browne you messed with seven". It also shows how the mother took the death of her husband. Because now not only did she have to raise seven kids on her own, she had to be the mother and the father to seven little children. The way I rate books is if the book is so good that it makes you never want to put it down. With this book I got that it was a great book one of the best I have ever read. In a rating of 1-5 with five being the best I would rate this book a four and a half, just is a great book and I would recommend this book to anyone who like a good book.

Summary: Delightful story balancing sorrow with joy
Review: The Mammy is an eloquently written story about a family in Dublin, Ireland. The book is entertaining and moving. It is lighthearted at times and at other times it deals with serious matters such as death, sickness and religion. There are several laugh-out-loud moments when the author brilliantly captures the closeness of friends who share tragedy and exhiliration. The several children in the story offer a spectrum of personalities and clash and interact entertainingly. The story is full of wit and insight into human behavior, especially the love between mother and children. I have given this book and its sequels as gifts to the delight of several friends. And I recommend it for you.

Summary: Quaint Walk Down An Irish Lane
Review: At times the humor felt forced, the first chapter especially. Yet, by mid book, I was laughing along side the girls as if I was taking the driving instruction myself. The ending was too contrived. I longed for a little less fantasy. Over all, it was an easy read, and entertaining.
