Book Reviews of Darby O'Gill
Book Review: Absolutely Adorable to Read along with the Movie Version!
Summary: 4 Stars
I enjoyed this book and its roughly 100 year-old stories! I found some of them quite amusing and funny. I gave this book four stars because the diction isn't very consistent. I love how the author/editors used spelling to convey accent (like "tay"="tea"), but some of the words had multiple, 3 or 4, spellings, which made it slightly confusing. I did have fun reading it, though. If you watch the movie, Darby O'Gill and the Little People (1959), and then read the book, it's even better! The only possible reason I could think of why anyone wouldn't like it is if they are not fimiliar at all with Ireland and it's culture, people and mythology. It's a difficult read if you don't understand what the characters are saying and talking about! Overall, great book!
