Alabama Irish James Russell Lingerfelt Books

Another beautifully written love story by this author! I wasn’t sure I would like the journal entry format, but quickly found I couldn’t put it down! I couldn’t wait to see what happened next in the life of Brian. Lingerfelt has a beautiful way of writing, setting the scenes to make you feel like you are actually there! Highly recommend this book!

I’ve read Lingerfelt’s first book, The Mason Jar, and I would recommend readers read Alabama Irish first as it sets up The Mason Jar perfectly, introducing us to the characters Finn & Eden.

Alabama Irish James Russell Lingerfelt Books Reviews

Alabama Irish was an book I found myself quickly pulled into, curious as to how Brian's story would turn out. It wasn't until I was over halfway through the book that I made the connection that Brian's friend, Finn, and his girlfriend, Eden, are from another story, The Mason Jar. I've not read many books that are told from a male perspective - or written by a male - but I enjoyed it. I think Brian's story is very relatable. He came from a less than ideal situation and was determined to do something about it. This is a book about love, fighting for what you want, not giving up, and learning to forgive. I think, in some way, all of us are broken. We all have something we're going through or been through and it's overcoming those things that make us stronger. It's these things that also make us who we are. I think one of my favorite parts of the story is when Shannon has read Brian's journal. She comes to see him and tells him she loves him. Shannon tells him that several times, knowing he needs to hear it more than once. Two broken people come together to help heal each other. I like how their story ends. That they both get to travel together - and part of that involves visiting Ireland. I think Brian is a realistic character. Sometimes you read a story and it's great but you know people aren't that put together. Brian has baggage and some anger he's holding onto. My heart broke for him and also Paul when Brian went to visit him at his home. How both men were hurting and Paul let Brian hit him again and again. It's like that saying hurt people hurt people. I'd like to think if the story would have went into more detail that somehow Brian would have made his way back to Paul and told him he forgave him. So they could both start to heal from that awful night. Alabama Irish is one of the few books I've read where I'm satisfied with the ending. All the things Brian needed to overcome were addressed. He ended up with Shannon, got a job at the school that helped change his life, was going to counseling, working on his Master's degree and letting his story help at-risk youth who were in a similar situation. Overall, a good read with a happy ending!
Couldn't put it down.
This book is a wonderful story which emphasizes the importance of truthfulness and forgiveness. Although I enjoyed the story, I was confused because the voice of the main character did not feel authentic.
You are taken inside the mind of Brian Bailey on the verge of adulthood, trying to find his place in this world. He must overcome a tragic event from his past in order to move forward. The author successfully brings the characters to life. I was beyond thrilled to see a different side to "Finn" Clayton Fincannon from the authors previous novel "The Mason Jar". In the story you are taken back to the deep feelings and emotions of your first love. The ups and downs of a relationship. Shown the importance of friendships and how they enrich our lives. This book has many twists and turns that will keep you wandering what will happen next. You are shown the power behind the act of forgiveness and the impact it has on the lives of others. I thoroughly enjoyed the references to growing up in the south. This book will not disappoint.
Lingerfelt’s novel, Alabama Irish is a delightful surprise for romance lovers and ‘coming of age’ fans. At first blush I was concerned that the journal entry format might not keep my attention, but oh my friends much to the contrary! I was hooked by page ten.
The story’s hero, Brian starts off as a high schooler and not much of a student who was encouraged by Uncle Mike to begin journaling. From the first entry the boy’s personality begins to emerge as well as his writing skills. It was fun to watch how Lingerfelt maintained the personality characteristics throughout, but demonstrated writing skill improvement as the story and time evolved. All the characters were nicely developed.
The book appealed to me on multiple levels from the love story to the college experience, but what stood out was the way he slipped in wisdom of the ages, elder mentoring and literary references to make this a powerful story for young men coming of age. This is a perfect gift for graduating seniors!
If you’ve read The Mason Jar, you were probably already excited to know there was another book with these characters, from a different viewpoint. I loved this one as much as the first! I can’t wait to see what this author writes next, or see these made into movies!
