Customer Reviews

Kudos to a great novelist

I was truly impressed with the book and the fact that it was Mr. Nunes' debut as a novelist. I found the book so intriguing that I too, could not put it down until it was finished. The story captivated me for a lot of reasons. When I finished it, I found myself wanting more. I felt as if I knew these people myself and that they would be the kind of people that we all can relate to in one way or another. It makes me want to take a trip to Ireland and visit the very places that were mentioned with such great detail. Kudos to Mr. Nunes on a well thought out and well written book that I find, excels many books written by well known authors. I think that Mr. Nunes has a lot to offer any avid book reader. I hope to see more of his work in the future. Perhaps a sequel to Loughshinny?

A Great Read

This book makes you feel like you are right there w/ the characters engaging in everything they do. It takes you on an emotional roller coaster ride and leaves you in suspense w/ it's bizarre twists. I had a hard time putting the book down. The vivid descriptions were great. It is evident that he put a lot of time and effort into researching for this book. Job well done! Can't wait for the next book.

Loughshinny

Loughshinny is a great book. It is very easy to read and easy to follow. I got sucked into it and read the book in one night, I just couldn't put it down. The characters are described and written so well, as you read more and more it almost feels like you know them, or like you're sitting in the house on 4th Street as part of the group. I recommend this book to everyone and anyone.
