[Marcella · Rating 2 out of 5]

I thought this would be a book of literary walks and tours. Instead it is a book of random literary history, without a true guide to places. The exception being Joyce's Ulysses, where it tells you how to replay Bloomsday. But otherwise, its more lives of authors than literary landmarks. The last 5-6 pages of "Places of Interest" should have been how the whole book was organized. Anyways, not what I was expecting and I will need to find other resources to do literary tours of Ireland.
