Reader Reviews:Brillant!!!! (7/7 people found this helpful)Congratulations to Dennis O'Hearn,on his suberb potrayal of Bobby Sands....I was gripped from the first page. I was most impressed with the amount of new material this book contains. I have read many,many books on the hungerstrikes and prison protests this book is up there with the best(10 men dead and nor meekly serve my time).This book tells the story of Bobby Sands and for the first time I got to know Bobby the person. This book gives the reader an insight into Bobby's journey. It shows how Bobby grew and matured while in prison,how he educated himself,and how he developed to become the Republican icon that he is today.In parts of this book I was laughing and crying at the same time, so magnificently does Dennis O'Hearn capture the humour that these brave men kept even in the most harrowing moments. I will be encouraging my sons and daughters to read this book as it answers the questions they have already started to ask. I only hope that one day this book is on the school curriculum so that Bobby's story can be taught to the future generations.
