Just finished it.

Well, it was enchanting.

Again, I'm perhaps biased, as I've had the pleasure of himself's company.

I thought he was particularly honest, and self-deprecating,
concerning his mistakes big and small.

So many would have been tempted to depict the rise of the
Clancy/Makem dynasty as great, painful struggle to 'make it.'

Whereas it wasn't: they were clearly in the right place at the
right time, with the right stuff to make it work. And when you
look at it that way, you can't begrudge them a damned thing. They
paid their dues, in poverty-stricken Ireland, in the second war
to end all wars, and even for a few years of struggle in New
York. Astonished, I think they were, by their own success.

I came away from the book saying 'good on you, lads, godspeed
and thank Him that you were there to show the way.'

They say there's a sequel in the works. I await it.
