Describing itself as a patchwork of stories, Reeling in the Queers is indeed exactly that, and although I do have some qualms as to the organisation of said patchwork (why not a chronological structure?), it was a very good, informative and, yes, necessary read overall.

A great book in its simplicity. It doesn't overtly seek to look at the bigger picture but by focusing on people's stories, it reveals a bigger picture in a really nice way. As someone who knew very little about Irish queer history I now know a lot more.

A highly interesting book which narrative and factual style made it enjoyable to read even if historical books aren’t exactly your go to. I found a certain sense of pride reading this book at all of the hero’s who have come before and the amazing work they have done to help us achieve the cultural climate we have now.

It was alright, if a bit boring at times. Definitely makes me want to look into certain events and people more, a good entry point to Ireland's queer history to be sure.
