## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ these Patric Taylor books are delightful
*by C***. on November 10, 2024*

The boos by Patric Taylor are delightful and full of great characters and humor.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The quaintest Christmas you'll ever have, Ulster style
*by S***Y on December 13, 2008*

The year is 1964. The village is Ballybucklebo in Ulster, Ireland. It's winter, and Christmas is fast approaching. Dr. Barry Laverty is assistant to the infamous Dr. Fingal Flahertie O'Reilly, whose florid nose turns alabaster when he's angered. Barry lives in a little upstairs room at Number One Main Street with Fingal, his efficient and fuss-pot housekeeper Mrs. Kinky Kincaid, a white cat named Lady Macbeth, and a daft black Labrador named Arthur Guiness. Barry's mind is fully occupied these days not only by keeping busy in the surgery (meaning the doctor's office) but also with whether or not his beautiful young girlfriend Patricia Spence will make it home from college for the holidays.Dr. O'Reilly is busy with surgery, and the unfortunate task of fixing some mistakes made by a new doctor in The Kinnegar name Dr. Ronald Hercules Fitzpatrick. Dr. Fitzpatrick starts out on the wrong foot by attempting to bypass Kinky's stolid stance against visitors to "Himself" when O'Reilly is up with a cough. He makes matters worse by dispensing ridiculous home remedies such as primrose roots and goat's milk whey shoved up the nose for infection, and gunpowder in a young man's tea for infertility. Dr. O'Reilly has also been setting aside treasured memories of his long-dead wife Deidre in favor of a certain Ms. Kitty O'Halloran, who herself has taken up visiting the doctor on more frequent social calls.Occupying both doctors' time, other than treating patients in surgery and on-call, is the upcoming Christmas pageant, a Rugby game, the Rugby Club's first annual raffle event (dreamed up by Fingal to see to it that young, single, working mother Eileen has Christmas for her three young children), Christmas Eve, and the Marquis' party on Christmas Day.'An Irish Country Christmas' is the third book in Patrick Taylor's 'Irish Country' series, but the first book of his that I've read. Immediately upon finishing, I ordered 'An Irish Country Doctor' and 'An Irish Country Village', the first two books in the series. It seems I can't get enough of the wonderful characters Mr. Taylor has created. The story isn't about any particular event other than culminating with Christmas Day, but about the everyday lives and events that surround those who reside in Number One Main Street. You can feel the small town atmosphere (and long for it's peacefulness), feel the gentler time of 1964, and respond to the fully fleshed-out characters. The enjoyment is in all the little details and the personalities of all involved. There's more to being a country doctor than dispensing medicine; there's advice in the form of finding a sitter for Eileen's little Sammy so Eileen can resume work, resolving a Christmas fund problem at Sammy's house, seeing a young boy in surgery (the office) about not wanting to go to school because he wasn't picked as Joseph for the Christmas Play, and watching old spinster Alice Moloney blossom as she tells the tale of being a vibrant young woman in India.The book uses country brogue language, most of which is easy to understand. (such as "pew" for chair, and "briar" for pipe). The book is 471 pages, with an Afterward by Mrs. Kinky Kincaid including some Christmas recipes, an Author's Note, and a full Glossary of terms for any who have trouble with the language. This is truly one of the most "quaint" stories I've read, and while not fast-paced still conjures an "I can't put it down" interest in the reader. I highly recommend this book. Enjoy!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ This has become my "go-to" series when I need an escape and an easy reading experience
*by J***E on July 23, 2015*

The Country Doctor novels are entertaining and engaging. This has become my "go-to" series when I need an escape and an easy reading experience. Drs. Lafferty and O'Reilly are great characters who evolve and expand with each book, and their little Irish village of Ballybucklebo has a diverse group of characters who also pop up in the series. The stories have enough of a plot to keep it interesting, a smattering of Irish customs to charm and puzzle over, a variety of medical situations that are explained in detail (the author is a doctor), many descriptions of Irish food (with recipes at the end of the book), and romance or two, all of which keep me intrigued. I will probably keep reading them all the way to the last book and enjoy myself all the way.
