The Black Donnellys | 
so-so⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for entertainment, ⭐️ for unbiased presentation of facts. You know immediately, that Kelley is not a fan of the Donnelly‘s. Each chapter is filled with the brutality of this family, and the town that did no wrong. Each chapter starts with a part of a song about how horrible they were. And maybe they were, but it was at one point that I was wondering if the Donnelly brothers were going to sprout horns. And in this book? They almost did.
Kinniska I‘m halfway through this book, and your description is perfect. I try to keep in mind that this was written in 1953, and clearly sounds like a transcription of a guy sitting in a pub, spinning yarns. 13mo
StellaDz @Kinniska I love reading about the Black Donnelly‘s and I have to say that this was probably the least impartial telling of what happened. And yeah, that imagery is perfect. Kelley just spinning wild tales to entertain. 12mo
