About this ebook
This book is a comprehensive, detailed approach to playing Irish music on the tinwhistle. It has been written especially for new enthusiasts who live impossibly far from Irish musicians and are fretfully asking themselves, “Where Can I Ever Learn To Play?” It contains information on technique and style that more advanced players will also find useful. And, there are 72 dance tunes and airs suitably arranged for the tinwhistle, including some recently-composed pieces and several unusual settings of old standards that even the most jaded musical palates aflame with the insatiable desire for New Tunes will find exhilarating and momentarily satisfying.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I much preferred the movie to the book. The book was still good but the movie allowed me to see a lot of what was spoken about in the book more accurately.
I certainly don't regret reading this book, I just preferred the movie. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5One of my favorite family sagas is the story of the Cleary family, centered on only girl Meggie and her relationship with the local head of the church Father Ralph. Spanning several decades, and including plenty of anticipation, promise, heartbreak, and redemption, this book is another classic to read more than once. The famous 1980s miniseries 'Thorn Birds' was based off of McCullough's work.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is the greatest love story and love triangle of all time. Not only is this book a love story of the heartbreaking kind, it is also great historical fiction. While reading you can almost hear the Irish brogues and feel the searing heat in the outback. This book is one of my top 5 books of all time. I re-read it every 4-5 years.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I remember reading this when I was a teenager. I borrowed it from a friend and stayed up the whole night to read it. This was banned from our Catholic school library. And I was not allowed to read it but manage to sneak it in. Yes, this book was controversial but I loved it.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book took me awhile to read but it was worth it. Anything that could happen to a family in the span of 50 years happens in this book. The characters are amazing and you get fully wrapped up in their lives wanting to know how things turn out.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5family saga. wonderful book!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5An epic love story.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It's more than 30 years since i first read this book. A fascinating tale of family lives through the generations. With some life perspective I can't work out quite how i feel about the struggle of and with a priest of forbidden love, other than how sad. The things we do, and don't do, for love...
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The Thorn Birds starts off excellently, detailing the day-to-day life of a family struggling to get by in early twentieth century New Zealand. It's well-written, it feels very realistic, and there's a strong sense of place. There's believable conflict among the family members without any of them being unsympathetic. There's an interesting and unflinching look at the effects of strict gender roles on average women's lives: something we don't see in most historical fiction, which tends to feature the elite rather than regular folks. When the family picks up and moves to Australia, I was still enthralled. I loved the descriptions of life in the Outback and was drawn into the family's story.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I loved this book and the TV miniseries based on it. Set in Australia it tells the story of Meggie Cleary who loves a man she can never possess, the priest Ralph de Bricassart.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5One of my all time favorite books. Compelling story especially for a reformed Catholic. Collen McCullough writes so well and paints such glorious scenes in your mind. I developed a deep appreciation for Australia and I would love to go there some time. I loved the mini-series as well.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The Thorn Birds is an epic tale of an three generations of an Australian family. I'm not a fan of Richard Chamberlain so the mini-series was not something I enjoyed. The book is much better anyway. At times it felt long, and it IS a long book, but the story is engaging and I never lost interest in these characters. All in all a worthwhile read.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I've heard so many things about this book and movie that when I saw a freshly purchased copy at my local library, I had to pick it up. I was not disappointed in the epic story; it utterly engrossed me and kept me occupied for a couple of weeks. However, a couple of things: the relationship between Meggie and the priest absolutely creeped me out.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5a very good book about a priest torn between his vows as a priest and his love for a woman named maggie
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5loved the book,loved the movie!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The Greatest Romance Novel of All Time.
I have read this at least a dozen times, and still love Meggie, Ralph, Fee, Paddy & Frank. A classic, cannot recommend it highly enough. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5There is a legend about a bird which sings just once in its life, more sweetly than any other creature on the face of the earth. from the moment it leaves the nest it searches for thorn tree, and does not rest until it has found one. then, singing among the savage branches, it impales itself upon the longest, sharpest spine. and, dying, it rises above its own agony to out carol the lark and the nightingale. one superlative song, existence the price. but the whole world stills to listen, and God in his heaven smiles. for the best is only bought at the cost of great pain... or so says the legend.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Dammit... I stayed up reading this book until about 3:45a and had to finish it during today's lunch hour.
I adored these wacky Australians and their forbidden love. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Read this when it first came out then again when it was made available for the kindle. Great family saga story.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Listened to from Apr 5-30, 2012Audio Book - I read this a few years ago and remember enjoying it (so much that I went on to read other Colleen McCullough novels). Since I have a difficult time listening to new fiction titles, I've been going back to the books I liked pre-Goodreads/LT and listening to them.The story still doesn't disappoint. It's so heartbreaking, but so good. It did take a little while for me to adjust to the narrator -- not one of my favorites. It's definitely a long one (22 hours), but worth a listen if you're a fan of family sagas.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5It was so very interesting to revisit this book after so many years. When I was a young teen, my mother read all the family sagas that were current at the time. She loved nothing better than a multi-generational story about rich people. I remember both of us loving this book at the time, but I found it offers little beyond a sweeping saga of a family with which I can't identify in any way.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I haven't read this since I was a whimsical, romantic teenager, but I loved it then and think I would enjoy it just as much now. I am married to clergy now, so I think my perspective will have changed just a little bit. :)
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Having read this book more than 20 years ago and still knowing the characters and the plot is a proof, that it leaves an impact. The story draws you in and as it moves along you identify yourself with the acteurs. You watch their fate from such a close range, that you cannot stay unmoved. --But you do need a certain romantic streak to like it.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A story theat pulls the reader into the heart and soul of each character.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The book is excellent, no doubt about it. But, this is a rare instance where I thought the tv miniseries was better! Richard Chamberlain and Rachel Ward bring the two main character more to life than words on a page can. Read the book, then watch the series.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It started off as an innocent relationship and in time, developed into a serious forbidden love affair. One of the best books I ever read.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Simply the best tragic love story there is, with the possible exception of Romeo and Juliet. I re-read this one every few years or when I need a soul-cleansing cry. Meggie...
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5very good book. this is the second McCullough, and i thoroughly enjoy how she writes, although a trifle long winded at times. but very good book.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A wonderful story tracing the Cleary family from their origins in Ireland, to New Zealand and Australia. As the years pass, readers cannot help but be drawn into their family life. We shed tears with Fee at the loss of all that she'd known, we gnaw our fingernails with Meggie as she bemoans her lot in life with Ralph, we shed tears with the entire clan on the loss of those we've come to know and love. "The Thorn Birds" is a must read, and will keep readers glued to the pages as it leads us to its ultimate conclusion.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5My mom didn't want me to see the mini series (back in the 80's), so I ran out and got the book instead. Eventually, I did see the mini series and the book is much more detailed than the mini series, which I eventually saw. The book is definitely better than the mini series. A good read for entertainment value.
