Reader Reviews for "3/17"

Reviewed by Anne Woodard	10/23/2010
Pass on the corned beef, but DEFINITELY read 3/17!!! I have just finished reading Mary Pat Hyland's new book, 3/17, and am once again already missing her characters! Hyland has another winner to add to her collection...3/17 is a humorously brilliant tale of the trials and tribulations of a traditional band from Ireland trapped in pre-St. Patrick's Day festivities in upstate NY. A parody of Dante's inferno, this clever book leads readers through the 9 circles of St. Patrick's Day hell in America. For anyone who has witnessed some of the scenes described in the book, you will understand the utter terror of the band! As usual, Hyland's mastery of believable conversations and endearing characters make it very hard to put the book down. You will laugh, you will wince, and you will be unable to wait to hear what happens next...all the makings of a GREAT book! You do not have to be Irish to love this book...St. Patrick's Day revelry is a part of all of us. Grab a corned beef sandwich & a pint & sit back for a wild ride...3/17 will get your toes tapping and your shamrock bobbers bobbing!!!
