Caldwell writes poetically and precisely in describing the Irish countryside, and it was a pleasure to find the characters and their circumstances truly humorous.

    <body><![CDATA[I've never heard of Caldwell, but at peek at the book's opening intrigued me so I took it home and finished it in one sitting. It's a slim little thing at 212 pages and a fast read. Caldwell's a brilliant writer whose prose you can really wallow in, simultaneously cynical, comic, and lyrically poeti...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/57188869">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[It's hard for me to give a star rating to this book because through the whole of it, I really enjoyed it--until the end.  The end was bizarre, impossible, half-hazard and abrupt.  Everything was going along fine and then there were the last 5 pages or so and it was just so stupid.  <br/><br/>This ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/26004571">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Maybe it was the pig and maybe it wasn't, but one thing is certain: Joseph's Caldwell's The Pig Did It was one of the most delightful and sharply crafted book I read last year--a mischievous, even devious, wallow in a thoroughly Irish mire of love, loss, murder, and redemption, with a prescient pork...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/43933522">more...</a>]]></body>

This book probably gets its accolades from the poetic prose but that is why I wanted to give it only two stars.  It was just too wordy and packed with unnecessary adjectives for me.

    <body><![CDATA[This is a beautifully written book.  The author has excellant descriptions...you can see everything that he describes.  I know that it is supposed to be funny but it didn't tickle me the way I had hoped when I started the book.  Perhaps the problem is that the things that happen are far to silly for...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/67259967">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The writing in this book really sparkles--literary and very funny. At first, I wasn't sure I liked the main character, but ultimately I found the book quite clever. Irish sensibilities abound. Reminded me of some Latin American literature, but with a Celtic spin.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book was crazy!  It reminded me a bit of an Edgar Allen Poe story, in that the plot is twisted and I was completely surprised by some of the developments.  The language and content were a bit rough at times, but overall the story was unbelievable.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[It was billed as a murder mystery with some BBC-on-PBS-type twee Irish humor thrown in for atmosphere. It turns out to be a twee Irish comedy with some murder mystery aspects thrown in just for black comedy. A little too cutesy for my tastes.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[So far (156 pages into a 195 pg book), not one of the characters is likeable.  I guess I am very pedestrian, but I never really enjoy a book where I don't like anyone at all.  We'll see.  I never really did grow to like anyone in the book or find it particularly interesting or charming.]]></body>
