Review:
"* 'Both hilarious and poignant, MacAnna's book has me reaching for words I'd long considered lost to my delinquent vocabulary. Heartwarming, unputdownable, inspiring...that sort of thing. - Evening Herald * 'The Last of the Bald Heads is an enjoyable, no-nonsense memoir from Ferdia MacAnna' - Sunday Tribune Magazine * 'the writing is fresh, honest, straighforward, and very entertaining.' - Irish Times Weekend Review"
