Book Review The Good Son by Paul McVeigh It seems like a lifetime since Rebel Voice reviewed a book by an Irish author. The Good Son was worth the wait. Micky Donnelly lives in Ardoyne, in north Belfast, during the period when the Provisional IRA were at war with the forces of British colonialism. […]
Book Review Gilliamesque by Terry Gilliam This is an intriguing auto-biography by the only non-English member of Monty Python’s Flying Circus. Terry Gilliam started out as a cartoonist in the US. He was involved in political activism in the States at a time when the Vietnam war was developing. It was there that he […]

That’s a pretty good appraisal of this book (see Rebel Voice Book Review, The […]
The dubbing on this is perfectly appropriate. The ending is one hell of a piece of self-promotion.

Book Review No Middle Name by Lee Child I went and did it again. I read another Child book. This, despite the reservations that I had about the Jack Reacher series of which No Middle Name is one part – see Rebel Voice Book Review for Night School. This is a short story collection […]
