The insight into Irish culture and the warning about the involvement of crime in the story adds an extra layer of interest. I appreciate knowing what to expect in terms of content.

Michael's decision to bust this notorious crime syndicate is highly commendable. However, his method leaves much to be desired as it exposes him to risk to his person and immediate family members. I love to read this book. Thanks for the review.

Exuberant characters are bound to be appealing to young adults, while the inclusion of Irish culture is a great way to educate. But your mention of Michael's tilt against crime shows that this book sends the target audience its strongest message: strength of character.

It sounds like a good read with an amazing plot. Ireland is filled with beautiful and interesting sceneries. I do hope Michael was able to thwart the illegal activities of the Russians. Thanks for your review.

Nice book! The plot sounds fine, but I'm not gripped by the story. I hope Michael doesn't get caught up in the mix of danger, crime and the authorities. I also believe he'll find himself after his ordeal.

Latest Review: Entanglement - Quantum and Otherwise by John K Danenbarger

Post by Akangbe Opeyemi »

I thought this book was about skating, especially after seeing the book title and cover but after reading the review on the book I realized it actually has more plots incorporated in it. He wants to pursue his passion for skating and has to face parents who want him to work in a company. Then he went to increase his knowledge of Irish culture and overheard some people talking about smuggling stuff. This sounds interesting already. Your review is very well-written and comprehensive.
