5.0 out of 5 stars Steven Spielberg, take note, March 3, 2003
By 
MaryLou Ballentine (Germantown, MD United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Because They Never Do (Paperback)
One of the best stories yet about the plight of real people during the Irish holocaust. Forget "Gangs of New York." Monaghan is a master story-teller on a level with Margaret Mitchell, Hemmingway & Fitzgerald. A page-turner if ever there was one. Didn't want it to end.

Lisa Bauler (Whitewater, WI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Because They Never Do (Paperback)
This book is a beautifully descript story full of vivid imagery of Ireland and a transition to life in the United States. The true story, of the authors great-great grandparents has been passed around my family and greatly enjoyed. The passionate tale will be one you can not put down.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Visual!, May 19, 2003
By 
Kate Hayes (New York, New York United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Because They Never Do (Paperback)
A visually stimulating story based on the true story of his ancestors who perished in the Famine. Having been to Strokestown and the Famine Museum, I was able to picture in my mind's eye how Strokestown would have looked and what went on during this darkest period in Irish history. I highly recommend it.
