don't judge this book by its cover ...
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Despite its cover 'Turbulent Priests' has little to do with bedraggled young women who smoke. It's actually a very cleverly plotted story about a young girl on a island off Ireland who is claimed to be the messiah. A reporter is sent out to chronicle events and, to no surprise, all is not what they appear to be. 'Turbulent Priests' is fresh and funny. It lamblasts both the (Catholic) church and Irish society in equal measure without taking it all too seriously. Only the most sensitive will be offended (..although much of the language is crude). I should also add that the book is rather Irish-centric. Folks from outside Ireland/Britain might not understand much of the verbage or the sarcastic humour.Bottom line: perhaps Colin Bateman's best book. No small praise.
