4.0 out of 5 stars Not your average load of Blarney, 28 Oct 2002
By A Customer
MacGill's novel veers from the fantasy genre to providing some potent social commentary on the Ireland of the early 20th century. I urge you to read this novel and be amazed by MacGill's subtlety and his masterful grasp of narrative.

5.0 out of 5 stars Children of the Dead End, 14 Sep 2009
By P. E. Colhoun - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Children of the Dead End (Paperback)
This book is beautifully and poetically written. I enjoyed reading it so much that I have ordered the other books in the series.
I felt transported to the authors world and went on his journey with him. If I could give this book more than 5 stars I would.
