| 1. |  | The Butcher Boy from Delta Customer Review:  Commentators on the jacket of this book refer to Francie Brady as a psychopath or an abuse victim or something like that. Fortunately, "The Butcher Boy" is no such disease-of-the-week television special. If it were, it would not have gained the reputation it has now and those same commentators never... |

| 2. |  | Breakfast on Pluto from Picador Customer Review: It is of utmost importance to proceed with caution whilst reading Patrick McCabe's critically lauded piece of fantastical narrative.

A difficult p-o-v to carry off, time... |

| 6. |  | Emerald Germs of Ireland Customer Review: VERY detailed descriptions with plenty of pictures. I thought I knew all about certain things, this book taught me much more on almost every subject than any other book of its type. Many would disagree with me on this - I recommend this book be offered to pre-teens/teens who show an interest in the... |

| 9. | | Mondo Desperado! from Picador Customer Review: From the collectible art on the cover to its take on national stereotypes, Mondo Desperado! provides a look at Ireland's sacred cows: Depraved, voyeuristic schoolmasters! Student Priests! Delinquent Irish Nurses! Patrick McCabe has a way of starting out ghastly and inducing... |
