Something to Crowe About
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I bought this book two months ago in Ireland after hearing Mr. McCormack read. Even though I knew that the quality of writing would be remarkable from having heard passages from the novel, I avoided reading it because I thought it would be too dark, too depressing. When I finally succumbed, I was dumbstruck by the the richness of character, the sharply turned phrases, and fluid description throughout. It would have been a shame if the "macabre" on the fly leaf had scared me off before I gave it a chance.
Stumbling upon Brilliance

I happened to pick this book up randomly in Galway, Ireland. I didn't have high expectations from it, but as I read on I found myself hating the thought that I was coming closer and closer to the end each day. I finished it last night and I cried. This is a brilliant new writer and I can't wait to see what he comes up with next. This might be my favorite new book.
I was hooked from page one.

I finished this book and then read it again. I thought it was brilliant! Mike McCormack is dead on with some of his insights into life, people, love, etc.
Crowe's Requiem is wonderful!

This book was very interesting. I loved how it kept me guessing at what would happen next; it was a definate page-turner. Crowe's character was very well developed and thoughtful. Even from his birth the reader knew he was gong to be a different person in one way or another
Thought provoking....

Purchased it in Ireland when it first came out and read it while there. If you don't mind a little darkness, it is a good read.
