A Lovely Irish Story of Haunting Memories
Matthew Quigley longs for a life he once had in Ireland. Unsettled with his job and love life that is an in and out affair. His escape in the car he dubs the "Green Monster" away from his harried life. His journey for his search begins. He longs for his Inish home and the memories of his grandfather. At the same time struggles with his new home in Boston.

It is a beautiful fiction of longing for a life of peace and the heart that remembers and longs for between the home of his childhood and his second far away home. These things as they were and the way they are reflected in the lives of those of Matthew comes to terms with. One, his mother, who he reconciles with and his girlfriend who he helps in her tragedy of a dying father.

The story draws you to Matthew, following him on his journeys through the New England crossways and to the misty Enchanted Green Isle. You become part of his struggle and yearning to piece together his life. Coming to term with his beloved memories and the lessons of family endures. Well worth to take the plunge and follow the main character on a journey for love and living. An absolute recommendation!

Great tale of Irish immigrant experience
I consider myself somewhat of an expert in contemporary Irish fiction and I found this obscure book to be one of the finest stories I have ever read. In writing style and setting, it reminded me a lot of Niall Williams' "Four Letters of Love". Set between the Inish in Ireland and Boston this is the story of Matthew Quigley's struggle to make a home for himself in Boston after a troubling childhood on the Inish. On the Inish, Matthew struggled mightily living and caring for his grandfather while tring to deal with his distant mother. The lessons learned there resurface when in Boston helping his girlfriend care for her dying father. The writing is so good you can almost feel the misty rain of the Inish and the warmth of Matthew's grandfather's cottage near the sea. Highly Recommended!!

Good Book but it was slow in some places
Although this last book in the Doom's Day trilogy was good for the most part, some of the story slows down in a few places like when Doom's plan is finally revealed and when the final battle takes place. It seems the last fight took forever to resolve and it is somewhat disapointing, but the epiloge makes up for it. Still for the most part, it was an enjoyable book.

Good Book To End The Doom's Day Trilogy
This book starts off with action as Doctor Octopus is freed from prison. Then it declines and picks up with an exciting finish. Spider-Man Readers will love this book for its fast-paced action.

Good Book
I have read this book and I think it's great. Although I think there is a hole in the plot because Dr. Doom is the kind of guy who would not ask for anyone's help regardless of their expertise, he probably would have known the stuff himself
