A treat!, Jun 22 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Green Years (Paperback)
Someone gave me "The Green Years" and to my joy I discovered an author who doesn't write about violence, sex, and "lawyers!" It was a return to the use of language to describe the trials, and tribulations of a young Catholic boy, who, because of his mother's death is forced to live with his grandmother, and greatgrandfather in Scotland. The story is simple, and sweet, and makes you feel that you are back in Scotland at the turn of the century. After reading Cronin I must find other books that he had written. I'll probably become a Cronin "Groupie!"

Humble yet Haunting, Dec 17 2005
By Clemson N. Page, Jr. "Clempage" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Green Years (Paperback)
"The Green Years" and its sequel "Shannon's Way" are two books that I loved so much I've worn out three copies of each over the last 40 years or so. Cronin's characters are generally so well crafted that one gets a sense of who they are without having to dodge labels of "good" or "bad." They're just people compellingly portrayed, behaving and responding to one another against a dramatic background. There are no car chases, fistfights, courtroom scenes or gun battles, but there's still plenty of drama -- and humor. I loved the chapter about Jamie Nigg getting Murdoch Leckie drunk at the Ardfillan Fair. This book is one of my all-time favorites.

Pleasantly Surprised and Delighted!, April 20 2001
By Doug Weinberg - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Green Years (Paperback)
Randomly picking this book from the shelf in the library, I knew nothing of the novel or author, and was hoping I had not picked a second-rate novel. Pleasanlty, I was surprised! The plot is realistic centering around a richly developed Catholic boy. Though book one was somewhat slow developing the plot and characters, books two and three were well worth the wait and made me anxious to continue reading. However, I was somewhat dissapointed with the anticlimax end, but you'll have to read it to see for yourself!
Listmania!
