Summary: MacGowan and His Girl with Green Eyes
Comment: A Drink with Shane MacGowan is a great read not only for fans and those curious about the break up of the Pogues but those who enjoy a bit of craic or great storytelling. One gets a peek inside a very unique and brilliant mind and also gains knowledge of interesting bits of Irish and punk era history. The somewhat maligned question and answer format is, in fact, an engaging way to shed light on the relationship between MacGowan and his closest companion. While leading to a greater understanding of the man himself, it acquaints the reader with Clarke, an interesting character in her own right. An established writer, she peppers the banter with lighthearted sarcasm, humorously toying with writing styles much in the way of Joyce (another first year English lit. groupie!)
All in all it is a great book with a pint in a quiet corner of your favorite pub but works as well with tea and flannel pajamas - highly recommended!

Summary: Shane MacGowan Rocks!
Comment: This book is a series of interviews/chats conducted by Shane's wife(Victoria Mary Clarke). The format allows for some great storytelling about his past and family and helps to understand how he is the way he is. Great read for any fans of the shane MacGowan, the Pogues, or Ireland in general.

Summary: Amazon Reviewer Devours a Plate of Chips, Hungrily.
Comment: On your first read-through, I highly recommend taking your editing pen and marking out Victoria Mary Clarke's dribbling of adverbs. You'll be thankful you did the next time you dip into A DRINK WITH SHANE MACGOWAN. And trust me -- despite my grousing -- you'll want to read this book numerous times. Like other reviewers, I've absolutely no problem with the interview style of the book as it produces some splendid results and Ms. Clarke gets some wonderful details from Mr. MacGowan again and again. This is an absolute must for fans of the Pogues, the Popes and Irish literature especially.
