[ 4.0 stars ] "The story follows a few days of the life of Francis Phelan, a homeless alcoholic, as he trudges through the dumps and dives of Depression Era Albany, he was revisited by momentous events and affecting personnel of his life. The plotless fiction meanders to the climax at the death Phelan's beloved companion and his surprise call to his long estranged family. Written with inspiration and convi ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 4.0 stars ] "'Ironweed' is a well written and short novel about a drunk vagabond named Francis. Francis has lived a tough life, some of it caused by him, some of it due to circumstances or other people. I think part of what makes this a very good novel is because as a reader I started to wonder to what extent Francis was his own worst enemy or just an everyday guy trying to get through another week.

[ 5.0 stars ] "Many of my friends told me how difficult it was to read this book. But I had the pleasure of listening to it while I commuted to work and it came alive! It wasn't difficult at all. William Kennedy would be a perfect dinner guest because this would be a book to talk about for hours. ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 3.0 stars ] "It's difficult to know what this book is actually about as I assume Kennedy did not go the trouble of writing around 150 pages on the goings-on of riffraff - or "bums" as they are called in the US* - in the 1930s for no reasonIs it meant to be symbolic, with these members of the lower depths - mainly Americans of Irish origin - representing those for whom the American Dream became the American ..."

[ 5.0 stars ] "Though it's just been a few months since I read this wonderful book, I find myself barely able to remember what actually happened in it. I do remember actually laying in bed at night and crying during several passages, though, and thinking that it was one of the best things that I had read in a long time. The fiction that I've been randomly pulling off my shelves has been really good to ..." Courtesy by Amazon
