Midwest Book Review has named Tricia O’Brien’s San Francisco's Bayview Hunters Point one of the best books of 2005.

Here is the review from Donovan's bookshelf at the Midwest Book Review:
At long last comes a history of a San Francisco neighborhood which has been largely neglected in larger overviews of the city - and it comes from Tricia O'Brien, whose Irish/ Italian/Portuguese family has lived in the Bayview for several generations. Any who know the area today may be hard pressed to consider cows once walked up the now-busy Third Street, or sheep were herded on Innes Avenue - yet the area was once very rural, and the source of much of San Francisco's food. More so than most other neighborhood books on the city, San Francisco's Bayview Hunters Point is an essential purchase for any who would receive the full flavor of the city's rural day
