Ireland in a flash!

This book is just fun. There are so many cool fun facts about Ireland here. Things from how it was nicknamed the emerald Isle/Island (due to the densely lush and green vegetation), to famous Irish people. It is also great for losing some of the Irish stereotypes about leprechauns and drinking (among many others). It is more interesting that the facts are just randomly sampled, and a quiz is provided after every section. More importantly, the narration was excellent.

A review copy of this book was given to me upon my own request, and I have written this unbiased review of my own accord.

Very cool

The stories in this book are quite good and they inform a lot about Ireland. The random nature of the facts is also quite exciting, it keeps the reader guessing on what is next. Overall, the style, narration and composition of the book is fun, entertaining and educative.

This book was given to me freely, and I have left this review in exchange. This review is in no way biased, and it only reflects my opinion.

Great book!

Really enjoyed the interesting facts and information. Great for those interested in learning more about Ireland.

When’s the next book?

This is the tenth book I’ve read/listened to by this author. I request every book of his that I see available for review. All of his books, including this one, have been full of interesting information and little known facts. I like his insight into all different aspects… history of an area, their famous people, things they are well known for, silly scary or unusual things that have happened. What a great breadth of information.

This is the third book I’ve listened to by this narrator ( Scott Miller ) and I would listen to another. He presents the information in an entertaining, engaging way. His style is appropriate for this book.

There are no explicit sex scenes, excessive violence or swearing.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and voluntarily left this unbiased review.
