Media coverage and reviews of Faithful Servant - A Memoir of Brian Cleeve

  • Peter Tremayne, author of the Sister Fidelma Mysteries (March 23rd 2007)
    "A sympathetic and fascinating account. It makes enthralling reading."
  • The Bray People (April 19th 2007)
    "Broadcaster and writer Brian Cleeve, who lived in Shankill from 1999 until his death in 2003, has been immortalised in the memoir, Faithful Servant, written by Shankill man Jim Bruce."
  • The Irish Emigrant (April 26th 2007)
    "Written with undoubted affection, 'Faithful Servant' conveys an image of a man engaged in a lifelong search who, when that search ends, lives his life quietly, helping as many people as he can but at no time aggressively trying to persuade others to follow his lead."
  • armchairinterviews.com (May 1st 2007)
    "I enjoyed this memoir immensely. It was well written and easy to follow. Because of Bruce's research and his storytelling skills, the reader feels as if they are experiencing everything along with Cleeve, a man who lived life to the fullest and wasn't afraid to stand up for what he believed."
  • Sunday Independent (June 17th 2007)
    "Brian's early years read like something dreamed up by Evelyn Waugh; his is a swashbuckling story, criss-crossed by shady government forces, elusive black marketeers, obscure counts and smuggled diamonds, now carefully chronicled in Jim Bruce's biography."
  • George Edward Stanley, Professor of African and Middle-Eastern Languages and Linguistics - Cameron University, Oklahoma and author of 100 books for young people. (July 31st 2009 )
    "FAITHFUL SERVANT - A Memoir of Brian Cleeve is an outstanding example of what a memoir should be."
