Anybody read it?
I haven't been able to put it down.

Always assumed Joe O'Connor was fairly disposable but the writing here is amazing...

yeah it's great. He is a really good writer - cowboys and indians and desperados are 2 books which are still just such good reads, even years after I'd first read them. He had a bit of a blip with his stupid secrets of the irish male and the books about the dublins in the states, but inishowen, the salesman and star of the sea are all really good reads.

Must seek out Cowboys and Indians & Desperados so.
I had only read Secrets of Irish Male before and was slightly put off...

I just couldn't get over how beautifully written and constructed Star of the Sea is...
