Sense Of Wonder: Van Morrison's Ireland Paperback – October 1, 2013

Really enjoying this book. Very little thank goodness abt Van Morrison's personality (who cares, love his music!) and lots of insight into the development of his style and Ireland's music and history. Gives alot of information abt his bands and the musicans he collaborated with, both song writers and instrumentalists.

I learned SO much about the history of Northern Ireland from this. Also a great, fairly objective view of Van; some warts, loads of genius. Highly recommend.

a comprehensive look @ the land of Van. wonderful insights and review of the political history of his youth. Nice to know how some of the songs fermented in the being of the boy and helped develop the "MAN". A required read for Vanites!

If you are a fan of Van Morrison, this book is a fun read as it explores Van and his connection to his native Ireland.

If you're a Van fan you'll find this quite engrossing and well written taking through the Van of Ireland and his music

Book came on time, as advertised. Good deal

Arrived very quickly. The book, for a fan of 40+ years, provided background and insights into the man and his music. So that upon listening to the music again I have a better appreciation of its 'yarragh'

I can understand Van's Ire when 'a new biography' comes out on Van Morrison - this is not one of these! This book is what I have been waiting for for years. David Burke's work here must rate as the finest treatise on Northern Ireland, Belfast, Irish Inspired Music from the 50's onward & how the Master Poet, Musician, with the Voice that outguns all others - Van Morrison, has shaped his homeland while doing so has brought all his fans 'A Sense of Wonder'. I could not put this book down until I had read the 270 pages. Not to be missed.

Lovely, measured book about Van the Man. Lots of info and without being overly reverential or gushing. A little gem and a must have for any fan.

If your a Van Morrison fan you will be disappointed in this book,there's absolutely nothing new you didn't all ready know in this book.
