Query: Wholley Disappointing

I love anything Irish and this book was enthusiastically recommended to me by a friend. Well, I wish I would have saved the $14.00 I paid for it at Barnes & Noble and bought it used at Amazon or eBay for $0.69 or something. I agree with A. Scanlon's review (although they obviously are more learned on the subject) - I keep thinking to myself as I'm reading, "Okay, can you get to the POINT, man?" Mr. Cahill keeps veering off into these long-winded asides and I haven't come across anything vaguely historical or comparable to other books I've read on the Irish "civilization." It simply does not hold my interest. But, in all fairness, I should probably finish it, but I have a feeling it's going to be a real chore.
