I liked his band and he seems like an interesting guy but this was frankly a disappointing read. Sarcasm abounds in this NUI Galway adventure. The characters were not at all believable from the very start when they left their native Tipperary. The city of Galway and the university are both very unreal places. This book lacks soul. It maybe had a good idea once but ended up trampling on itself in order to get it finished.
