5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely brilliant-emotional, gripping & tense, October 27, 1999
By Kerrie Carroll (Melbourne, Australia) - See all my reviews
This book was one of the most enjoyable but extremely moving books that I have ever read. Robert Emmet was a wonderful man with a passion and dream as great as any Irishman had for Ireland. This was set during a very troubled time of Irelands history that gave me a great understanding of Irish history. Gretta Curran Browne spent fours years researching for this book and all I can say is that I cannot recommend this book highly enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow!, June 3, 2006
Inspired by genealogical research that led me to find such a direct line to Scotland and Ireland in my family, I had decided to learn more about the history of both countries. As William Wallace's inner strength and noble acts were brought across in Mel Gibson's movie, "Braveheart," Gretta Curran Browne has done admirable honor to Robert Emmet, a hero no less strong and noble. This book reads like an engaging historical movie that does stay true to actual events in the late 1700s and early 1800s. Your time will not be wasted with this reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't put it down, November 16, 2000
By Cheryl Johnston (Australia.) - See all my reviews
This is probably the best book I have ever read. It has all the history of the story with a very personal human touch. I have never been so emotionally moved while reading a book, especially at the ending.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely brilliant! A great read, I couldn't put it down.
I discovered this book by accident, and could not put it down. The writing is superb and the story gripping. I can't understand why a book like this is not in the bestsellers. Read more
