Format:Paperback
I was expecting a book full of dates and events, but was pleasantly surprised.
Gerry is definately a story teller extraordinaire. The book made compulsive reading, I was laughing, crying, disgusted at the brutality but most of all I came away with knowledge and understanding of what really happened in NI at this most turbulent time in her history. For anyone who wants to understand the Troubles this should be one of the books on your reading list. A must read.

A recommended read for anyone who is interested in the social history of Belfast in the days before the troubles and the role of republicans in the years that have passed since. Much is written about Gerry Adams the republican and politician, but few would have known about the physical environment and, remarkable, family ties that moulded the man that we know today. Reflecting his earlier writings in 'Cage Eleven' this tome is written with no lack of humour, and this perhaps something that may surprise some. His autobiography is both enjoyable and informative and well worth a look - you won't be short changed.

I absolutely loved this book, it is fascinating, at times very funny, and often extremely sad. Gerry Adams is a really good story teller. Shame one can't occasionally pause while reading and ask him a question! I would recommend this book wholeheartedly.
