Buyer Beware! The publisher has renamed the original book in this wonderful series. If you buy or own "The Mammy", you do not need this book!

If I could rate this book higher than a five, I would. I have never enoyed a book as much as Agnes Brown. I highly recommend it for a good laugh and a very endearing story. I also read the rest of the books Brendon O'Carroll wrote. I bought my books and when I finished with them, loan them to my friends to read. I wish he would write more, I look forward to reading them. Excellent is the word for Brendon O'Carroll's writtings. Thank you.

This was one of the most delightful books I've read in a long while. I bought the book, read half of it, and went out to run my errands. I couldn't resist finishing it up while I was back in at the local bookstore. Agnes is colorful, honest, and hilarious. Hurry up with the other publications!

This is probably the best irish book ive ever read. Finally an author that exposes the "rougher" side of Dublin City, and shows that family and friends are better than any amount of money on earth. The simple things are truly the best. O'Carrol portrays this beautifully. He truly is an amazing author. You'll laugh,cry and truly fall in love with the "Browne" clan.

I could not put this book down and when I did, I went out and bought the next two books in the trilogy. Recommend not reading it on public transportation. Everyone will think that you are crazy when you can't stop laughing!!

What a wonderful book this was. Brendan O'Carroll really has a way with words! He'll have you laughing and crying all at the same time!

You will fall in love with Agnes Browne, a single mother and a dear friend. Any child would be so lucky to have a Mammy such as Agnes and I think we all could use a friend like her. If for nothing else, she's have you laughing so hard you about fall outta your chair!

This book was a really quick read. Partly due to the fact that it's a short book and also because it's so enjoyable to read. I would classify this as a light read. So, if you're looking for something light and fun ~ your answer is within this book!

Agnes Browne gives strength and hope to modern day women through her unfailing spirit and determination to conquer odds and see the love and humor in life. As an Irish-American, I can feel, see, and smell the city of Dublin in O'Carroll's descriptions. This book makes the reader pause and consider the universal truths about life-live it to the fullest, laugh whenever possible, love without condition, NEVER lose hope. I'll definitely read and share this one again and again.

I picked this book up on St. Patrick's Day and ended up reading all of his books within the month. What a joy they have all been and now that I am done, I am missing Agnes Browne and her stories terribly!!! Read them all, you won't be sorry.
