Summary: Joyous and ebullient! A wonderful read.
Comment: "In The Castle Of The Flynns" is what other Irish writers have strived to write in this decade of Irish fiction and non-fiction. "...Castle..." is joyous and ebullient, and a wonderful read.
Danny Dorsey, orphaned suddenly, is taken in by his relatives. All of them. In this subtly hilarious and often poignant account of the summer of 1954, we see his new family through his eyes...to great effect. Reading "...Castle..." was like reliving my own childhood in a large Irish family...a wonderful journey that I would do again and again if Michael Raleigh could be the tour guide every time.

Summary: God bless the Irish!
Comment: An absolutely delightful read! Hard to believe this isn't a first-rate autobiography - the author perfectly captures the feelings and emotions of an orphaned seven-year old boy. Danny Dorsey is absorbed into his extended Irish family with a few hitches --and with the love of his grandparents and uncles, especially his hero, Uncle Tom. I found myself laughing out loud as well as wiping away tears. The characters and their eccentricities are wonderfully described. Can't wait to read more from this author.

Summary: WOW!
Comment: I love this book! I don't even have the right words to fully explain how wonderful this story is. I found myself laughing out loud and needing to read parts to my family. Just like a real family, there were sad parts too, and parts that made me examine my own life events and choices. The ending was masterfully done. It brought everything full circle around. As I read the last two lines, I gasped and my eyes filled up with tears....not because of some shocking end, but at how beautifully the author said it. I don't recall that ever happening to me before while reading. The book was SO well written.
