Irish Lace

Summary: As Herself would say, "Dead fockin' brill"
Review: "Irish Lace" with it's beautiful irish quips and sayings constantly brought me back to the green pastures of Ireland. I thought that the relationship that Dermott and Nuala Anne shared refreshing. My only criticism was that some of the "reports" sounded too much like a history lectures and didn't really integrate well with the modern aspects of the book. Although, I really don't think that was the case for 'Titia's letter, which I enjoyed immensely. Overall, I felt like I'd lost a friend when it ended.

Summary: a good easy read,although somewhat predictable
Review: amusing, light mystery and romance, read it in two days during holidays, the historic sections about the civil war are slow and dry, but the romantic sections are fun; I live in Chicago, and the geography was accurate, and I could identify the locations

Summary: As good as "Gold"
Review: Continuing the saga from "Irish Gold," Nuala and Dermot once again find themselves solving a mystery. However, the true mystery that is unfolding is the one surrounding their relationship. Greeley works his magic again making it difficult to put this one down. In fact, it took me only a week to read it. And I would recommend it to anyone. But, first read "Irish Gold" so you will fully understand and appreciate Nuala and Dermot.

Summary: Too much stereotype
Review: Enjoyed Irish Gold so there was no question about following through with the sequel. Rather disappointing. Nuala is just too perfect and wonderful. The immigration officials are too mean (I can't believe they wouldn't have better immigrants to worry about rather than perfect Nuala?) Greeley's political opinions are introduced a little too often. (Republicans continue to be rather evil, mean-spirited folk). And who says Bill Clinton is a big hero with the Irish? Hardly.

Summary: Intriguing
Review: I personally enjoyed this book very much.It used a fresh outlook on Irish folklore by setting it in modern America.The characters were deep enough to be real,but not so deep as to appear overly plotted.It also displayed a suprising amount of true "Irish humor",something, in my opinion rather diffucult to do. The author by using these approuches created a realistic,fasinating and perhaps most importantly a truly enjoyable book!

Summary: Magnifique
Review: My first book by Andrew Greenly was "Irish Gold" and I could not wait to read "Irish Lace". What really interested me was the information on the Civil War. I was not aware that there were prison camps during this period and of the suffering that occured. Did the government hide it or am I naive on the subject? Nuala is the most enjoyable character that I have been exposed to. The Sunnyvale library closed for the summer for renovations, and I checked out five books, all by Andrew Greenly.
