Amusing & fun, for those of us in the US who have some Irish in their blood. Both the usual jokes, some history, & a few hilarious digs at those of us who take our ancestry too seriously..i.e. the "Stage Irish". The Hipster gives it a Big Thumbs UP!

Often entertaining and funny and but some errors
This book is entertaining and funny in many ways, but there are some errors that should have been caught by editors or researchers. I wrote to the publisher (Random House) about two of the errors.

This review is from: How to Be Irish: (Even if You Already Are) (Paperback)
This book is entertaining and funny in many ways, but there are some errors that should have been caught by editors or researchers. I wrote to the publisher (Random House) about two of the errors. The worst one: the authors confuse Al Smith (undoubtedly Irish) with Fiorello LaGuardia by writing that Smith was not even Irish, but had an Italian father and German mother. Also, some readers might be insulted by the authors' iconoclasm regarding "sacred" Irish subjects and individuals, but humor was the main goal in the book. All in all, the book was often entertaining and funny but not up to my expectations.

I thought this book to be general and inaccurate. Very insulting. It ended up in the trash.
