5.0 out of 5 stars Sublime talent for observing the fraility of the Human Situation , 13 Aug 2007
By E. O. Callaghan (London usually) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book has been one of the most rewarding and satisfying reads I have had in many years. The characters of the stories come to life in front of you thanks to the author's talent at finding that part of human nation we all share - the fraility of our own existence. The descriptions of Ireland are truly sublime. There is one story wherein a character plays pool and the way the author describes the action is just the best ever. I look forward to reading more from Kevin Barry again.

5.0 out of 5 stars a little gem, 15 Dec 2008
By Mr. S. G. Dwyer "sean_dwyer" (dungarvan, ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: There are Little Kingdoms: Stories by Kevin Barry (Paperback)
loved this, a wonderful collection of short stories, mostly set in small town Ireland.
He has a great turn of phrase and describes the settings and landscapes brilliantly - afternoons are feeble, people have furious eyebrows, you could be on the expressway bus trundling through the damp Tipp countryside.

I used to love his Examiner column and hoped that this book wouldn't disappoint and happily it didn't.

One to go back to.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great debut
This is a great achievement for a debut collection. Barry's superb characterisations and sense of place make some of these 13 stories excellent. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars A Safe Haven
I am in complete agreement with the earlier reviewer.

A minor cricism first of all. A couple of the stories in this quirky, fairly slim volume might one day end up... Read more
