“A brilliantly funny book” – For The Good Times by David Keenan

"It’s a book that deals in idealism and so plays upon the mythic – Sammy’s own myths entwine genuine Hibernian legend with the world of DC Comics, as Keenan weaves a new superhero saga – but it’s a myth that leads only to rows upon rows of coffins, just as Sammy’s path leads him inevitably to the Maze, where Margaret Thatcher is letting Bobby Sands (MP) starve to death. And though it might sound otherwise, this isn’t a book that overtly supports the Republican cause (except to the extent that Keenan’s books clearly don’t offer any support to the Conservative cause): rather, it’s a book that, like any worthy piece of war literature, seeks to dismantle the simplistic portrayal of conflict as Good vs Bad. Everyone’s good, everyone’s bad, and, moreover, everyone’s hurting and everyone’s bewildered..." - Valerie O'Riordan reviews For the Good Times by David Keenan
