Snag Bring Me The Head Of Oliver Plunkett Originated By Colin Bateman Accessible In Publication
from the beginning, I knew I would enjoy Bring Me the Head of Oliver Plunkett, The book is fastpaced and has wonderful characters that make the story leap right off of the page and into your imagination.
Colin Bateman does a smashing job of creating characters that are very believable and that kids will love to read about,
I found myself quite enraptured with the story and had a very hard time putting the book down, finishing the lastpages in one sitting as the action becomes more intense.
There are a lot of reference to the first book about Eddie amp The Gang With No Name in Running With the Reservoir Pups, but you don't have to have read it to understand this book.
Overall, I thought that Bring Me the Head of Oliver Plunkett was an excellent story with fun and excitement that all readers will enjoy.
Bravo, Colin Bateman. Way to go!
I rated this book aout of, Fun, fastpaced with zany Northern Irish wit, A great read for children and lighthearted adults, Slightly biased review because I have discovered that I am related to both Oliver Plunkett of the missing head, the saint and Primate of Ireland, as well as Joseph Mary Plunkett, who is considered an Irish hero in theUprising.
A book aimed at tweens, There really is a Saint Oliver Plunkett's head at a church in Ireland, Story kept me engaged. The adventures continue for Eddie when a sacred shrunken head is stolen by none other than Scarface Cutler, the most violent gangster in the country.
Eddie's arch rivals, the Reservoir Pups are also on the prowl, Can Eddie and his gang come out on top This is a very good and funny book, It starts out kind of dragy and boring, I almost returned it to my school library but then i thought that i should keep reading and see if it got better.
so i did. And then i couldn't stop reading, So if you get this book and it is boring and you want to return it, i encourage you to keep reading, tust me it gets better, Colin Bateman was a journalist in Northern Ireland before becoming a full time writer, His first novel, Divorcing Jack, won the Betty Trask Prize, and all his novels have been critically acclaimed, He wrote the screenplays for the feature films of Divorcing Jack, Crossmaheart and Wild About Harry.
