Party Animals by Olivia O'leary

Continuing the theme of her well-received first volume of sketches, Politicians and Other Animals, Olivia O'Leary captures party animals of all colours, from frontbench lions and backbench lambs, to republican frogs and PD rottweilers. Opposition hounds and government foxes are likewise deconstructed. Beyond the Dáil, property bulls and their many commuter victims, make up the political circus.

O'Leary brings her keen eye and lively pen to bear on political leadersSmart observations abound, and O'Leary's depth of political knowledge drips from the pages

-- The Sunday Business Post * Sunday Business Post *

[She] manages to get inside the world of politics and illuminate it with telling observations in this series of sketches. The author's great strength is that even though she may sigh for the great battles of old, she gives careful attention to the battles of today. Her judgments do not come from the top of her head but are formed after careful and close examination of the events and personalities that she writes about.

-- Stephen Collins - The Irish Times

brilliantly done . . . exact, to the point and very insightful.
