Exceptional ... Unique and compelling, raw and moving ... Much better than any myth or legend -- Paul Rouse * Irish Examiner * Beautifully told -- Dermot Crowe * Sunday Independent * A touching, sometimes bracing biography ... It feels like a final word, the family's last say on how he lived and how he died and how he ought to be remembered. -- Malachy Clerkin * Irish Times * Heart-rending ... It is a painstakingly researched work - aided by the fact that both brothers kept meticulous diaries - and what's striking about the story is the pressure that Cormac was under despite or maybe because of his success with Tyrone * Sunday World * Never has a sports book been more aptly titled. Seldom has there been the same level of care over every single word * Belfast Telegraph * Dónal's candour in chronicling that night [of Cormac's death] and the days and weeks that followed would bring a tear to a stone * Irish News *
