I REALLY LOVE THIS BOOK

I must say this book really surprised me! I got it as a Christmas present last year, and I never expected it, because I had only been a Gabriel Byrne friend for about three months or so, but after I had read it, I felt I knew Gabriel personally. I have never met him, but I am longing to see him. The book is very well written, so I wonder why he doesn't write more. Probably because he doesn't have time... I'm awaiting his new film or book. Whatever it is, I'll buy it. Buy this book, you won't be disappointed. If you're a Byrne fan, it's a must! If you're not, after reading the book, you will be!

Gabriel Byrne a different side

So you like Gabriel Byrne do you? Well this book will make you like him even more! In the begining it takes you to when Gabriel Byrne's mom and brother are getting ready to come home from the hospital. Gabriel's uncle often adds comical relief to many situations in the book. My favorite part of the book was when Gabriel talked about a nun that hit him with a ruler, I found what Gabriel kept saying to be extremly funny. Anyway this book gives you a perspective on one of hollywoods hottest stars from a different point of view. If you're looking for a laugh or just a great book, "Pictures in my head," is it.

Pictures In My Head

An amazing work. Clear and simple, pulls no punches and yet holds back nothing. The good and the bleak, the beauty of Ireland's people and their amazing will to thrive. If you buy this book, get the hardback copy- you'll turn back to it again and again. The darling Irish boy, who lives in the man that wrote this book will make your soul bleed and sing.Mr. Byrne's words to his daughter should be read by every woman who doubts the depth of a man's heart. He is a profoundly intelligent and beautiful soul. You will laugh out loud, you will cry and mostly you will wonder at the life and the spirit of this Irish man.

Pictures in my head, was straight to the point.

I think that Gabriel Byrne did a superb job in writing this book.He is quite talented as an Actor, but, the Creme de La Creme of being an Author. I admire everything he could account from his childhood in Dublin, Ireland, to how he was treated by his family, his marriage to Ellen Barkin, and to his two children (Jack and Romy), being born.I don't know if Ellen and Gabriel are still together, but from reading of how Jack was born first, and to Gabriel's daughter, Romy being born three years thereafter. His Prayer to Romy, was simply fantastic! I truly believe he is an excellent father, and I am very proud of him. If anyone out there has an address for Gabriel, I want to send him the first holy comunion cross, that was stolen from him.

A fascinating glimpse into the life of a fine actor...

Not only do we see into the life of the actor, but we get a glimpse of the fine man behind the characters he has portrayed. As a child seeking himself, as a young man seeking his path and as an adult seeking his place in contemporary life with his (now former) wife and his children, we have the rare opportunity to meet, know and love a fine man. If his future writings live up to the potential shown here, Gabriel Byrne will be one of the best storytellers to come on the scene in many years. I am eagerly looking forward to Gabriel's next venture and will cherish this one. Would that I could have the chance to meet him, not just through this book but in real life!!
