Customer Reviews

For fans, by fans and you can tell5
This book has been anticipated for about a year now among the Springsteen fan community. The authors are committed Bruce followers and their committment to the subject comes across very clearly. It is part biography, part reviews, part story telling and part photo journal. The sum total is a wonderful souvenior of 25 years worth of great days and nights in Ireland, thanks to the greatest live performer in Rocn 'n' Roll history.

Crafted with care, to be enjoyed wholeheartedly to anyone who has The Boss in his second home.

A real labour of love5
It looks fabulous. Great, great photos and a glorious look and feel to the whole thing.

There are a lot of quality Springsteen books to choose from, but this is different, and possibly unique in its approach. The pictures of Bruce and the band with fans really reinforce and complement the personal stories, a constant reminder that this is a fans' book, truly a fresh perspective as it claims.

While ostensibly the title might make some think 'this is for his Irish fans', and while it does of course focus on Bruce's appeal to Ireland (including his fascinating family connection), it's actually a global story to which any member of the worldwide E Street nation can relate. If you're a fan - anywhere - this is for you.

I can't recommend it highly enough.

Born in the USA, beloved in Ireand5
This is a book for everyone who loves Ireland - and who additionally loves Bruce Springsteen. Land of Hope and Dreams was written with love for both, that's for sure.
There's a special bond between Ireland and Springsteen for years now. You can find 2 pages inside showing Bruce's ancestors on his father's side originating from the Emerald Isle.
But aside this, it's a soul connection between Irish fans and Bruce Springsteen - and you can read about this ( and enjoy reading!) on 208 pages.
Very well written, informative, exact, knowledgable, humorous - and great photos too.
