Query: Disappointing

Unfortunately, I've had to force myself to read this book. I feel the summary on the back cover is misleading in stating, "Woven into the narrative is a wealth of information about Irish history and custom ...." It should state, "Woven into the wealth of information about Irish history and custom ... are his adventures." This reads more like a history book than a narrative of his adventures. I found myself skimming over the pages trying to find sections about his actual adventures. If you really like history, this book is for you. Niall Williams and Christine Breen's trilogy of their new life in Ireland is far better than this book.
