Format:Paperback
I love this book it was a lovely read. It bought back lots of memories of my own childhood that I had forgotten. I admired the way Brian handled his 4 year captivity in Beirut and read the book to see if his childhood had anything to do with the exceptional man he became and after reading this book I would say it had a lot to do with it.

Having read An Evil Cradling, I had wondered what gave Brian Keenan his strength of spirit. This story fills in the gaps & gives a wider view. Lovely to get to know such a good man a little bit better.

Format:Hardcover
It is hard to understand how the author of An Evil Cradling could write such a badly-written book as this. It lacks, mood, atmosphere, tension, drama, humour or anything of note to commend it. It is as flat as Belfast taddy bread, but nowwhere near as savoury. I can only conclude that his earlier work had significant editorial input and re-drafting by his publishers because of their heavy investment on the basis of his high public profile following his release from being a celebrity hostage. It seems, that this time round he is on his own, and the end result is dismal. Someone should have advised him to quit while he was ahead.
