    I read it a few years ago and loved it, I remember seeing it on Richard and Judy and thought it sounded like it was worth a read.

    Great book. I almost didn't read it because his earlier stuff was pretty mediocre. Really glad I gave it a chance.
    Redemption Falls, his follow-up, got some good reviews too.

    I really enjoyed it, would recommend it. It was great to read a story that is set in old Ireland.

    It's one of my favourite books. I was disappointed by Redemption Falls, though.

    Brilliant book. i thought it was really sad though. Man's inhumanity to man is shocking, but it was skillfully protrayed.

    I read Redemption Falls recently and while it was difficult to get into, was well worth reading. Joseph O'Connor is a marvellous writer and the atmosphere of 19th century America was well drawn.
