I like to read just about anything about Ireland and it's history. This book was pretty good but takes some time to read. The main characters are well developed and it is easy as a reader to get involved with them. However Leon Uris didn't properly research the song "Danny Boy". He has it being sung in 1899 and although the tune has been around since the 1600's the lyrics weren't written until 1912. So if you're looking fiction in an historically correct context I would take this one with a grain of salt.
