1916: A Novel of the Irish Rebellion Audiobook

" What an awesome read. I knew some of the history of Ireland but I had not read of this time period. It had everything. Sile and here background becoming a nurse and being accepted into the sisterhood. The young orphan with out a home meeting the youg brash hero and being saved by him. "

" This was is a good historical novel. The characters were well defined and historically acurate. "

" The prose is interesting and all, but the narrative is a bit uneven. "

" I liked it, I learned a lot about the history of the period which is something I'd like to know more about. "

" Probably one of the best books i have ever read. very riveting novel about the Irish Rebellion. MUST READ!! "

" I really enjoy Morgan Llywelyn's books. This one got me interested in the Celtic Revival and the Easter Rising of 1916. It was, as per typical Llywelyn, well written and researched. I like her Druidic and prehistory tales better, though. Her talents seem more suited for writing about that era. "

" I am not a big history buff, but this book was not only informative but told a story. Very good! "

" Loved it! It's a mix of history and fiction. It tells the story of The Rising in 1916 in Dublin, Ireland but has a story that goes along with it to keep your interest. I really want to go to Ireland now! "

" Listened to this on unabridged audio, fantastic book, thought provoking, funny at times and very enjoyable "

" I really enjoyed this book. I was a little surprised about the ending (at least, as it pertained to some of the fictional characters), and I learned quite a bit about the Irish fight for freedom in 1916. I'm curious about Llywelyn's other books. "

" I MUCH prefer her earlier ancient Celtic history / mythology novels. "

" Great piece of historical Irish fiction! It is a little slow to start and there are a lot of characters to remember but give it time and hopefully you will fall in love with the spirit of freedom radiating from this book like I did. "

" The characters in this novel were just not compelling, which is sad because it revolves around a really compelling time. I was totally disappointed. "

" Great authentic history in Llewlyn's novels, which are also good character studies. "

" Awesome! Really makes the history come alive. Also makes me disappointed that this was completely left out of my history classes; the interface of the Irish rebellion and WWI is so interesting. "

" First in a series of the Irish century - fictional characters against historical backdrop. One of my favorite authors "

" Well written, interesting tale about the Irish Revolution, yet I'm not anxious to read the sequels. Maybe later. "

" I really enjoyed this book. I was a little surprised about the ending (at least, as it pertained to some of the fictional characters), and I learned quite a bit about the Irish fight for freedom in 1916. I'm curious about Llywelyn's other books. "

" Listened to this on unabridged audio, fantastic book, thought provoking, funny at times and very enjoyable "

" Novelized version of the Irish Rebellion. "

" I liked it, I learned a lot about the history of the period which is something I'd like to know more about. "

" Read this book in 2008. Very good novel. "

" I MUCH prefer her earlier ancient Celtic history / mythology novels. "

" 3/4 history and 1/4 novel this book gave me a better understanding of the roots of conflict in Ireland. "

" I did not expect to enjoy this one as much as I did. Usually I stay away from historical fiction. I had a hard time keeping the characters straight but the list in the front really helped. "
