AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING!! Absolutely wonderful, stunning, beautiful book. I'd wanted to read it for a while, but kept picking up other books first - now I wonder WHY?! It was just great. O'Neill's writing cannot be described - best words may be lyrical, beautiful, astonishing ... Of course you should not have a problem with homosexuality before reading this or you will not like this book. But if you are at all open-minded, I HIGHLY recommend that you read this. I will remember it forever.

I'm ashamed to admit that I didn't have the fortitude to wade through the heavy Irish vernacular. I'm sure it's a great book, but my patience was lacking.

Glad to see I wasn't the only one who could not get through this. Too many other books to read to sit and struggle on this one for probably months. I gave up and moving on!
