1.5.
I only picked this up because of the cover, isn't it so pretty? But the story just wasn't good enough it was so short. There was too much information packed into a 99 page book so the characters weren't well developed, the plot was too simple, basically the only thing that happens is what you read on the blurb.

This is a short book about Ireland's Bloody Sunday.
The story is half-decent, though not incredibly well-written. It's definitely useful for, perhaps, a history unit on this topic or should you need a quick-to-get-through book for historical fiction.
The prologue is pointless, as it's a complete retelling of some of the chapters (so it would've been better if that wasn't included at all). It's almost like an afterthought, to be honest.
