Review # 1 was written on 2016-03-30 00:00:00 James A Yates I can't give a fair assessment of this book. It was difficult to listen, concentrate, and track, and I take full responsibility for that. I listened to many sections twice, but must admit that my greatest feeling on finishing the book was relief. Clearly, it would be better to read with my eyes instead of my ears, but I'll pass on that. There are so many split countries: Ireland, Korea, Vietnam, China, India, formerly Germany. I read this book to better understand why and how Ireland split, and the rocky history of her relationship with the British. One of my favorite metaphors for learning is Velcro. The new facts are the hooks and the stuff you are familiar with are the loops. If you don't have some basic information in place (the loops), there is nothing to which the hooks can hold. Those new facts don't stick. That came to mind while I listened: I know the key players of the Easter Rising, but the Prime Ministers and Irish leaders of the 18th and 19th centuries are blanks. Nothing stuck.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-07-24 00:00:00 Layla Moye There are some (audio)books that grab you by the lapels and shout in your face demanding you pay attention because you life depends on every word. This book was more like a friend across a crowded room mouthing "let's go" while you have your back to them. As I finished the book, I realized I knew nothing about the history of Ireland except: 1. The English were terrible people to the Irish. 2. The Irish were really really really poor. 3. The Irish were really really hungry for a time. 4. Some Irish people wore different colored shirts. This was nothing like Johnson's History of the American People in which Johnson was enthusiastic about his topic. This felt more like a really long encyclopedia entry on Irish history. It lacked depth, and it lacked a human connection to the people. In Johnson's American history, he made it clear that robber barons were cool and Kennedy was the worst choice for president. But the tone of this book was so neutral that the whole thing came off as flat and uninteresting. I do not recommend.
