The Hungry Road by Marita Conlon-McKenna
3.0
This was good and I did enjoy it and found myself wanting to read on. However, the writing style was quite basic and the characters lacked depth, being either absolutely pure of thought, or plainly bad.
I mostly enjoyed the educational aspect of it. It effectively painted a picture of the hell that was the potato famine and how it progressed. This would be a good book to teach people about the very real horrors those poor Irish went through, and the politics of the time, whilst making it easier to follow through following characters.
