It would be one star but, I suppose, there are still pictures of castles. I was expecting beautiful color spreads of castles and not much writing. That is not what I got.

The notes and history of each of the selected sites is interesting. The photos are mainly artistic though and don't provide a good view or orientation of the buildings.

This is not the proper book jacket but the photo is of the same castle depicted on the book: Aughnanure Castle, Co, Galway
