The Irish Times review ...

It's not quite like the New York Times review of a Broadway show, where a thumbs-down means you close on Sunday (hello, Enron), but the Irish Times review is the one everyone you know, and many potential readers, will see, not to mention the one in the paper you read yourself, so it's always a relief when it's good. And let's not forget the Irish Independent, which actually has the higher readership.
