.The Complete Patter

by: Michael Munro, John Byrne

September 13, 2007
. . .but for all who savour wit and humour. The Patter is arguably one of the great unacknowledged classic dialect books of our time - it sells by the barrowload in Glasgow of course, and has done since 1988, but has universal appeal. There have been lots of imitations of The Patter - in Scotland and out - but this is the original and best.

.The Sacred Bones

by: Michael Byrnes

March 03, 2008
More believable than Da Vinci Code - historic, informative and gripping. An excellent read all the way through although the end was a little disappointing but no doubt a follow up on the way!. This author has obviously done serious research to produce such a good read. Highly recommend it especially as a holiday take away because once you pick it up, you won't be able to put it down.

.The Sacred Bones

by: Michael Byrnes

March 05, 2007
this was an enjoyable book and it started very well. the plot involves an ancient religious artifact being stolen from a scared and holy site in jerusalem - temple mount and the potentially explosive effects this could have on religion and the world as we know it. the plot takes into account the current turmoil in israel and the history behind this. the mixture of settings, such as the vatican city, jerusalem, paris and rome are captivating. the novel moves swiftly through ancient biblical times to present day. i found this book to be welcomed changed to the usual conspiracy novels who simply replay the da vinci code over and over again
well worth a read

.Setting Tile (Fine Homebuilding) (Fine Homebuilding)

by: Michael Byrne

July 04, 2008
As the title of my review states this book has one main fault and that is all the measurements are in imperial sizes. I think the book would have been better if it considered the new metric dimensions that we in the building trade are now used to in Europe. Apart from that i have found this book to be informative and i would recommend it if only if the dimensions were more up to date with the current times.

.Years of Expansion: British History, 1815-1914 (Years of...)

by: Michael Byrne, Clive Behagg, David Cooper, Edward Townley, Michael Scott-Baumann

March 01, 2002
I have to disagree with the previous reviewer. This book is not "long-winded", rather I think it provides students with an excellent background to the subject. This is some of the most engaging history writing I have read.
