It is a debut novel but doubt you will have many Irish fans!! Then again I could be completely wrong. But when it is one of your own that cannot get it right, that is a NO GO area for me. OK, I might be a bit notorious on here for flying the flag for Ireland and have given harsh reviews to non-Irish authors for not doing it right. So any of my friends who read this book, please, please be under no illusions that we are ALL like that from Ireland. I am not, but I do know Dublin people and I know they also would be horrified to be portrayed like that. Even the fucking teacher in the school couldn’t pronounce the words. Seriously, as an Irish person I was disturbed by the way we were portrayed. I only read the sample and that was enough for me. How about putting a note for those of us who ARE Irish and are familiar with Irish dialect and think WTF? 'I just wanted to put this note in for readers who aren’t familiar with Irish dialect, so you don’t read a sentence and think “WTF?” '…we also leave out the letter G on most words when we speak, again, this is just another part of our dialect.”

Everything is “me” here in Ireland and rarely “my”… ' 'I want to make it clear that when you see an Irish character in Dominic say the word “me” where “my” should be, that is supposed to be written that way. We tend to break words down when speaking and jumble them….' 'Dominic is set in Ireland most of the characters are Irish, and the Irish have a dialect that is completely different from any other dialect in the world. QUOTES ARE FROM THE 'READER'S NOTE' AT THE START OF THE BOOK
