I read this during my first trip to Ireland and I LOVED it. I read my way through about 5 Maeve Binchy books after this one and I love all of her books. This is a great example of the book always being better than the film (not that the film is awful--but: The book. The book. The book.)

McDougall is a great storyteller; so, as far as the story goes, it is wonderful. McDougall also introduces the reader to many new ideas and theories, although he tends to preach them as if they were already fact (or at least obvious fact that everyone should have realized). For example, there are many competing theories about human muscoloskeletal systems and claiming that we were NOT born to do endurance runs and that such runs are harmful. Regardless of the cumbersome interludes, the story that he uses to introduce them makes them all the interesting and I quite enjoyed it.
