Normally I would give a one-star rating to a book riddled with foul language that is simply gratuitous and adds nothing to the story. In fact, I usually quit reading a book when the first f-word appears, but I was into the third chapter by that time, and I was hooked. This book was otherwise excellent. It was a fast-paced book that kept me on the edge of my seat and I hated to put it down in order to sleep. It switches back and forth between the US and Ireland, but the plot centers around the goings on in Ireland and the struggle of their people for independence. I enjoyed the relationships formed between the hero and the people in Ireland who accepted him into their circle.Overall, the violence was not graphically depicted, but there were some photos the hero saw that had some graphic content. There were no sex scenes. The hero did mention going to mass and the struggle in Ireland involved Protestants and Catholics, so the topic couldn't be avoided, but the book was not religious.
