Book Reviews of The Granny
Book Review: The Best of the Trilogy!
Summary: 5 Stars
The Granny by Brendan O'Carroll is the third and last book in the trilogy which began with The Mammy. And its only fitting that in my opinion this is the best book of the three.
It's hard to believe that the girl Agnes of The Young Wan and mother and widow of The Mammy is now a grandmother but that's exactly what happens when her oldest son's wife has a baby. And while Agnes is adjusting to this endearing term, she still has her other five children to worry about. Her daughter isn't very
happily married it appears, oen son lands in prison and anotehr one moves far away from home to puruse his dreams of being an artist. And in a hilarious scene, Pierre, Agnes's lover attempts to adds some excitement to their love lives.
While this is one of the sadder books in the trilogy it is true to life and has a fitting ending. Agnes is finally reunited with all of her children and grandchildren and knows that in addition to loving them, she is also loved by them.
I hated to end this book since Agnes and her family were like mmebers of my family while I read this book. Even now I continue to think about them and hope they are well. I hope that the author will continue to either write about Agnes's children or he will write a new book about an equally
wonderful character as Agnes Browne.
Book Review: WONDERFUL CONCLUSION TO A WONDERFUL SERIES
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of those stories I hated to see end, but as with all stories, this one had to be concluded. The author held true to his style and finished with what I feel, is the best of the trilogy. Agnes' children have grown and a new generation is being started. The Brown family, their ups and downs are all told here in a wonderful, magical way. Again, strong character development, humor and just simple good story telling make this a great read. These books have been out long enough now, and have been sucessful enough to attract those than just cannot stand to see others succeed and seem to delight in casting stones as such work. Recommend you ignore these sour apples. Read these books for what they are, good stories, well written and entertaining. Recommend this one highly.Book Review: This was the perfect ending to a great trilogy
Summary: 5 Stars
The Granny was great. It wasn't overdone and had just th right mixture to finish off this great trilogy without letting you down.Brendan O'Carroll did a spectaular job, again. He giave us just the right mixture of laughter and tears. Again you were on the edge of your seat wondering what would be next. There were a few items that he illuded to but you knew the out come of each illusion before he let on and you were ok with that it make you feel smarter and like a member of the family.
As with the other book the ending was perfect, simple, sweet and honest. There are no Hollywood endings here and not everything happens the way you think it should.
Buy all the books at the same time and become a member of the Browne clan. It's worth the trip.
Book Review: A Magical Book
Summary: 5 Stars
The Agnes Browne books by O'Carroll make a wonderfully written series. I have loved The Mammy, Chisellers and The Granny. I think O'Carroll reached near perfection with The Granny...I think it is the best of the series. You will love it. This book will bring you to tears and to laughter. I only wish it was longer.

Book Review: I'm a granny, too
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the third of Brendan O'Carroll's delightful stories of the inimitable Browne family. While we don't learn too much about Agnes Browne's grandchildren in this book, the story line is neatly completed in a way that is totally satisfying. The book is short enough to finish in one sitting, a good holiday travel choice.
