Reader Reviews:
If you're a (Munster) rugby fan - Buy the book. (5/5 people found this helpful)
I bought this book at a bookstore in Ireland as a present for my brother. He never got it! A brief 'dip' to make sure it was good and I was hooked. I have come to amazon to send to him a copy.
The way that the author builds different layers, that is what makes this a great story. There is no suspense as to the final outcome, but there is a sense of suspense and build up in the events that lead to the day that this book is named for.
I am a Munster fan, but I was young when this happened and didn't know the ins and outs of the events or of the personalities. But the author brought out the character of the people and weaved the different strands to bring the story alive. The way that the story is told makes this a just a great sporting story. I think any rugby fan would enjoy this book.
This is not a dry book. It is a great read.
