Críticas:
'A completely fresh take on the Irish language' Irish Examiner.
'Full of familiarity, of nostalgia, of humour and warmth. The author's voice really brings the book and the language to life - he somehow manages to remove all the boring aspects, and replaces them in with rich stories, with quirks, with colour and poignancy ... I'll be recommending it heartily' Sara Baume, author of Spill Simmer Falter Wither and A Line Made By Walking.
'Ó Séaghdha picked an opportune time for his grá for Gaeilge to flower among a receptive readership' Irish Examiner.
'A fun book on a great subject' Sunday Business Post.
'It's thought-provoking, irreverent and often laugh-out-loud hilarious' Irish Independent.

'It takes an irreverent, pun friendly and contemporary approach to the Irish language and it's a book for all lovers of the quirks of the Irish language' Tullamore Tribune.
