    <body><![CDATA[My favorite Roddy Doyle book, &quot;A Star Called Henry&quot; is the fictional story of a young man, Henry Smart, growing up in the Ireland of the early 20th century.  I much preferred this over the more well-known, but sentimental, &quot;Angela's Ashes&quot; by Frank McCourt.  <br/> Doyle doesn't ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/14899227">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is the best Roddy Doyle book I have read thus far.  It starts off as so many Irish books do...a poverty-stricken young boy, raised in Ireland at the turn of the century.  So, it begins as this tragic, yet enjoyable story...one that is reminiscent of Angela's Ashes.

    <body><![CDATA[I thought this book was really fun.  I'm hugely fascinated with early 20th century Irish history, and it was a delight to read about Henry casually rubbing elbows with everyone from James Connolly to Michael Collins.  It didn't even strike me as contrived, which is almost amazing considering how clu...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/41228985">more...</a>]]></body>
