Steven Spielberg, take note,
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.

A Beautiful Book,
By 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.

Very Visual!,
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.
