Helpful Score: 8

I must admit, when the book started off with Ned Halloran surviving the Titanic disaster, I wasn't expecting much from this book. However, as I read on, I started to enjoy the book and the story greatly. It's the first fiction book I've read with footnotes (at least as far as I remember).

This is the story of Irishman Ned Halloran - from 1912 to 1916, culminating in the Easter Rising and then subsequent executions of the leaders of the rebels. It taught me a lot about Ireland and has me wanting to read more in this series as well as historical tomes on the history of Ireland and how she came to gain her independence from Great Britain.
