While I did learn some interesting facts that lead me to do further research, I disliked the writing style. It was very confusing to read a blurb about an Irish political leader’s death, then launch into a detailed explanation about his life. I definitely didn’t like the way the information was presented.

Dreadfully boring. As others have mentioned, the title is very deceiving. It should have been titled 'The Politics and Religion of Ireland'. If it had been, I never would have downloaded it...not even for free! I also cannot neglect to mention the several typos throughout the book.

While a lot of this is interesting, it is what most children in Ireland learn in primary school. There are some errors which would make me wonder how much of it is accurate.

Interesting but you would need to double check the references. The piece that mentioned hurling in particular caused hilarity when I read it out.
