"""Author Bill O'Neill has a definite proficiency when it comes to compiling the myriad of useful and educational trivia books he's published so far. While all of them have been meticulously organized to enhance the reading experience, his Great Book of the various states series I feel is his best since they each epitomizes how great America already is. In each of his Great State books the author sticks to a proven format which consists of the following six chapters [albeit the order might be somewhat different]: In each of the six chapters this book contains: 1- State's History 2- State's Pop Culture 3- State's Attractions 4- State's Inventions, Ideas and More 5- State's Biggest Haunts, Supernatural and Other Weird Facts 6- State's Sports Mr. O'Neill begins each chapter by taking an item regarding its topic and gives his readers a brief, yet informative description of about it, this is followed by some random facts, which is then culminated by his giving some questions related to the information which the chapter has just given, naturally the answers are given as well. With six states already written, Mr. O'Neill has decided to move on to writing books on an International level; and what country had he chosen to write about first. I believe, he has befittingly chosen to write about the country of his apparent ancestry, that of Ireland; and in doing so, has chosen to stick to this same format. And to get an idea of the multitude of items the author has written about, all one needs to do is to read the author's own description, or better yet, peruse the preview pages for a complete listing of the topics being discussed in the pages of this book. For given his readers and myself, an enlightening trivia book about the country and people of Ireland, without giving any blarney in the process, I'm happy to give the author, Bill O'Neill, the 5 STAR he's receiving. "" by Robin Leigh Morgan ----- ""I have read and reviewed many books by this author, and one common theme is the ease in which you read them. There are no unnessary or intentionally hard words to understand, and the writing is very straightforward. You learn quite a bit about Ireland in reading this book, and it's humorous as well. You will enjoy reading it. Recommended."" by D. Dalal ----- ""Let me start off by saying I just love Bill O'Neill's kindle books. liked so many things about the Great Book of Ireland that there are too many to list. But... here a few Halloween originated in Ireland. I got to admit I didn't see that one coming. Also that Ireland is the only country in the world to have a Harp a musical instrument as their National Symbol. I thought like most people would that they would have a Shamrock instead. And last but not least My favorite James Bond actor Pierce Brosnan was born there. That's it from me if you want to know more and believe there is a lot more you will just have to read the book."" by Jeanne Kemp"
