Reviews

[Ulla]

I never knew how many writers lived and wrote in and on Dublin! This guide gives a good overview. Actually I bought it in Dublin and read it after my short stay there. BUT I definitely will go back and then I will follow some writers' traces.

The content is better than the way of writing BUT I know it is hard to state so many facts in an amusing way.
