Review: 1916 - Morgan Llywelyn



It was a good read but I don't have much to say about it. I found it was very intriguing and it was interesting of how this one guy went through so much like surviving the Titanic, Bloody Sunday, and the Irish Rebellion but it was also very coincidental. I mean, maybe that did happen to one person but it was hard to believe but it is a book right? Maybe I should have read this book after I finished school because it took me so long to read it and I was just not as focused as I should have been. I still think I would have gave it the same amount of stars but I think I would have more to report.

A Long Long way - Sabastian Barry



This was my book club choice book for the month because he is an Irish writer and it is March but I just wasn't in the mood to read a war book so I felt myself getting distracted very easily. I would be reading and then have to go back because I forgot what I just read. I loved the way he writes and at points I felt myself reading it with a brogue. I am sure this book is better than I rated it but as I said I just didn't have the mind set. Maybe I will re-read it in the future when I am more than ready to read such a book.
