The Great Book of Ireland: Interesting Stories, Irish History & Random Facts About Ireland: 1 (History & Fun Facts)

Excellent read. I read it twice

I am not sure they learnt anything new but I enjoyed reading it

A book full of very interesting facts about Ireland.

Ordered for my dad, absolutely loves it

This book does what it says on the tin. A light hearted view of the Emerald Isle. Not really to my taste, as someone with strong routes from Eire. It may appeal to someone in there teens.

Fantastic

Very interesting Irish trivia book packed with lots of pub quiz type facts ☘️🌞

Cocid boredom drives a person to insane action. Finishing this book was one of those. Some of the "facts" are dubious, not exactly written in the style of literary genius. The other books advertised on the cover (and through spectacular Amazon spam after purchasing the book are downright drivel). Thankfully I didn't pay to read those. Do not click on and enter details on the book download link - although I didn't complete the registration, the Bill O Neil marketing machine grabbed hold of my email and tried to entice me to buy his tabloidesque volumes on a daily basis through various never to be repeated special offers. Thank the Universe for mail blocking

Love the big print, and look forward to reading it.

Echo en falta alguna curiosidad más, pero es muy difícil incluirlo todo en un mismo libro... Aún así es muy interesante y habla de aspectos muy diversos de Irlanda y su historia, sus costumbres y algunos de sus personajes más destacados (Bram Stoker, por ejemplo). Muy recomendado.

Author Bill O’Neill has a definite proficiency when it comes to compiling the myriad of useful and educational trivia books he’s published so far. While all of them have been meticulously organized to enhance the reading experience, his Great Book of the various states series I feel is his best since they each epitomizes how great America already is. In each of his Great State books the author sticks to a proven format which consists of the following six chapters [albeit the order might be somewhat different]: In each of the six chapters this book contains: 1- State’s History 2- State’s Pop Culture 3- State’s Attractions 4- State’s Inventions, Ideas and More 5- State’s Biggest Haunts, Supernatural and Other Weird Facts 6- State’s Sports Mr. O’Neill begins each chapter by taking an item regarding its topic and gives his readers a brief, yet informative description of about it, this is followed by some random facts, which is then culminated by his giving some questions related to the information which the chapter has just given, naturally the answers are given as well. With six states already written, Mr. O’Neill has decided to move on to writing books on an International level; and what country had he chosen to write about first. I believe, he has befittingly chosen to write about the country of his apparent ancestry, that of Ireland; and in doing so, has chosen to stick to this same format. And to get an idea of the multitude of items the author has written about, all one needs to do is to read the author’s own description, or better yet, peruse the preview pages for a complete listing of the topics being discussed in the pages of this book. For given his readers and myself, an enlightening trivia book about the country and people of Ireland, without giving any blarney in the process, I’m happy to give the author, Bill O’Neill, the 5 STAR he’s receiving.
