Based on the series with the same name, Ballykissangel is a wonderfully delightful book. The characters are comical but real, interesting and so very likeable. I look forward to each coming installment although, unfortunately, I do know how the story ends. I would encourage anyone who does not know the whole storyline to purchase each subsequent edition of the book- the ending is absolutely shocking! I cried for hours! It would be good if more stories like Ballykissangel were written - stories with real characters that you learn to love.

That says it all. And I loved the PBS series. Very funny, very good at capturing life in a small village in Ireland.

a warm and wonderful book for all ballykissangle fans. I love to read this book when the show is not the air. I recommend the second volume; a sense of place as well. I only wish they would write another volume!

Ballykissangel: The New Arrival is a wonderful book that tells the story of Father Peter Clifford's arrival in the small Irish village of Ballykissangel. This book tells the story of the first season of the renowned television series. The book does an excellent job of capturing the spirit of the series as well as further developing the characters to paint the picture of a close knit community made up of interesting and intriguing characters. You will fall in love with the town and it's community. This book is a quick and easy read. It is definately hard to put down. A great story.

I thoroughly enjoyed both books

If you have seen all the first year's television episodes nothing is new here. However, when the daily routine is too much it is nice to be able to sit and visit at our leisure with friends in Ballyk. Humor and drama without blood or recreational sex. I liked it enough, even after having seen all the tv episodes, to want the 2nd volume.

This book was an excellent read, full of bright, crisp characters who are very human. I enjoyed every word of the story and am looking forward to the upcoming sequel.

It is a very good story. It reflects the series. The only thing that lacks from the televeision series is the sight jokes. The book tells the story and the feeling of the storybook town and its inhabitants.

Ok. I absolutely adore the programme and I love and respect all the actors and actresses and the writers etc. but the book was a letdown. That's all I have to say. There was not at all enough detail, not even when explaining the whole of the sexual tension thing which was going on.

I advise evryone to just stick to the tv programme. It was a lot more descriptive. But, hey if you are a true fan like me you would enjoy the book anyway. I would not advise the book to anyopne who hasn't watched the seiries.

I got this one as well as the other one at the same time. Love them and LOVE this series.
