I went off reading MC, But again found myself buying it after telling myself for the first few weeks I wasn't going to bother. This one took me a little while to get into. It wasn't the writing it was the way you were dropped in at the deep end. But as the story evolved you understood more. It was good except the ending. I was hoping for a plot twist somewhere and there was none. The book was too straight. Everything was expected.. what I did love was the writing style and the journey and the effort put in to the side characters. It was beautiful.

The only thing this exercise in personal lobotomisation achieved was to make me wonder how bad a Martina Cole book has to be to get rejected. Dara Tailor has had to grow up fast. With a mother addicted to cocaine, Dara must look after her seven younger siblings, until social services split them up for ever.Set over a period of 30 Years its gritty, violent and fast paced, I enjoyed everything about this book. I love a good Martina Cole book and thought that this was a good one. All the characters, whether you loved or hated them were superbly drawn and I found myself drawn into their lives and waiting to see how all the chips would fall.

I've seen a few complaints on foul language, but if you don't like that in a book, then these sort of books should not be what you are reading. Read many of Ms Cole's past books and enjoyed them so had reasonable hopes for this one, albeit expecting it to be a formulaic fare.

This might also be because I think that Declan, one of the characters that seems to be Michael's right hand man, is behind the revenge. And I think Michael's comeuppance is still waiting for him. But I think I might be reading far too much into it. No other reader has made a similar suggestion from what I can see. If you like this review then by all means read this absolute moronic tale of repetitive cliched bullshit.
