Official Review: The Navigator II: Irish Revenge

[carasquires]

From what I’ve read so far, I totally agree with your assessment of how him being an outsider allows things to be better explained. That’s a really good point, I think it makes things much more accessible to the reader.

Revenge is always an interesting filter for a story. This book sounds like it throws a lot at its characters. Thanks for the review!

I would not typically read the second in a series unless I had read the first. I was glad to hear in your review that this book stands alone. This sounds like a book that would interest me - a mix of realistic history along with some drama/mystery.

I have interest about the history of Ireland because I recently discovered I have Irish ancestry. However, the IRA is more of a modern organization, and I prefer older history. Either way sounds a bit interesting, so I will keep it mind. Thanks for the review!

I had dismissed this book but now that I read the review I might give it a shot.

I loved the setting of Ireland, but I am not a fan of these types of 'thrillers'. The heavy presence of the Catholic and Protestant fight, while accurate, was more than I wanted to delve into. Joe is too wishy-washy for me.

From my point of view if you like exictment and adventure this book is the book for you The Navigtator II: Irish Revenge by Steve Coleman . It was getting good when i got to the part about the CIA handlers and him falling for this beautiful girl Fionna.

I like political thrillers, but I don't think this book is for me. I'm not interested in learning about the Irish history for now, either.

Thank you for your deeply revealing review! It's really interesting to find out more about the Irish psyche from an outsider's perspective by reading a well composed thriller.

Great Review. I think this Joe is an interesting character. This book would definitely be a nice way to learn about the Irish

[Katherine Smith]

I, like the reviewer learned about the history of Ireland in school, but not as deeply as I should have. I know that Ireland is still in a war-like state with Protestants and Catholics hating each other. Even when Protestants and Catholics try to get along, their communities members will shun them. There is a wall that divides the Catholics and Protestants from each other. I like that the author realistically portrayed this conflict and how it still affects them today.

I'm getting a strong Iliad vibe from this description because of the themes of wrath and vengeance. Can't wait to read.

[MHScaccia]

Sounds interesting, and I’ve added it to my TR list as I’ve recently learned my ancestry is a small part Irish. Politics and history are not my usual genres, so your review alone gave the book my add. Nice!

I remember seeing scenes of Ireland when I was young, a sort of escalation of violence. This incidences were in retaliation from an attack from the other side. In my mind then, I couldn't grasp the root cause of the violence. The situation in Ireland saddened me, its because of this I probably wouldn't read the book. Thank you for the review.

What an interesting way to explore that Irish conflict. It’s true that we often don’t think about that conflict there and simply assume the country is fine, but it has just as much internal conflict (or more) over religion as the US does over race.
