5.0 out of 5 stars AN ENDEARING READ
Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2014
This book lets you live with an Irish family, hearing their voices, knowing their trials and joys from the end of the second world war until the present. It brings forth themes most people would find affectionately familiar.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great read from Paddy Cummins

Paddy relates the true story of his life as he grows and develops. He reveals to us the innumerable changes of direction he makes, but always with the emphasis on moving onwards and upwards. As you read you want to follow Paddy; to go where he goes, to see what he sees and to share in his good times and his bad. You feel compelled to stay with him because you want to know how each episode ends and how the next begins, until finally, well - there is no 'finally' as Paddy says 'I'll stroll on while there's still more road to travel, while it's still daylight and before the darkness sets in.' I really enjoyed keeping him company, and look forward to doing more of the same in the future.

4.0 out of 5 stars An Interesting Path
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 1, 2020

Paddy Cummins relates his life story in a gentle, lyrical manner. Apprenticed as a motor mechanic on leaving school, he forged an interesting path that included: setting up a full time professional show band, and a very successful company manufacturing wrought iron works, as well as becoming involved in local and national politics.
I particularly enjoyed learning about his families involvement in owning and training a very successful racehorse.

5.0 out of 5 stars An honest look at life

I love non celebrity memoirs and I thoroughly enjoyed this one. I came to know of Paddy Cummins through twitter and as I often retweeted his tweets I got to wonder about how he became involved with horses and Malta. It was lovely to read of his life in Ireland and some of his memories triggered my own - the Ford Prefect, it was my dad's first decent car as I was growing up! I won't spoil it for future readers by disclosing more of the story, read it and enjoy it as I did.
Very well written with an imaginative use of words.

I love this book! Warm-hearted and honest, Paddy frankly shares with his readers the ups and downs of his life, from the light-hearted fun times to the down and the even further down times. And the memories! Yes - even the car, as many years ago I passed my driving test in my Dad's Ford Prefect.
Thank you, Paddy, for a great read!
