Query: A page turner, with only a few holes.

I really enjoyed reading this book, even with all the gore. However, I was a little disappointed in the branching off into way too many characters throughout the book, many not even relevant to the plot. But in spite of this, the writing style is good with a true "street" sense (which really surprised me when I saw the author lives in Ireland). Reading the book, you feel the authenticity of the locales, as if the reader resides in the places he writes about.A good first work. His next will be even better if he sticks to the plot at hand and doesn't scatter off in too many historical details of unnecessary characters.
