Summary: A Good Memoir
Comment: Angela's Ashes recalls Frank McCourt's Irish Catholic childhood. He and his family suffer disease,
death, alcoholism, and poverty. McCourt's style of writing is so affective. It is a good memoir
making each scene come to life. This book may be compared to other coming of age non-fiction
writing, but it is unique in its setting and style. McCourt's creative non-fiction style is strong.
It has both imagery and reflection. The writing has great chronological structure and
organization. Because it is written from memory, there are some gaps, but it can still be read as
stream of thought. The gaps also make the writing realistic. No one can account for every moment
of their childhood.

Reading this book was enjoyable. It made me aware of historical situations
that I did not have knowledge of previous to reading this book. The writing is unique and
compelling. McCourt's story telling keeps the reader wanting to know more, even though it entails
poverty and disease.

Summary: Mrs. Bisson's history class review
Comment: Angela's Ashes was a real exciting read for me. Going through the growing process of Frankie
McCourt proved to be more captivating than i had expected. He revealed personal details about
himself that you would not expect and overcame great poverty, getting virtually no help from his
drunken father. It's a great read and i recommend it to everyone.

Summary: Great Book!
Comment: This was a great book. One of the best books i've read about hardships that people went through
during the times of the war. I love reading non fiction books because it lets me put myself in their
position and makes me think about how hard life would be in those days. I usually dont hear about
many stories about Irish familes and what they went through. I hear about Jewish or American
familes. Turns out that Ireland had many poor areas and didnt have much money during the war. Frank
McCourt and his family lived in Ireland during this time and they went through many diffuclties
living. Especially with a father that is an alchoholic and uses most of his money on drinks. if you
love reality books and you like to know how people used to live, like Frank McCourt, than i
recommend you read this book.

Summary: Angela's Ashes Book Review
Comment: Angela's Ashes is definitely a book worth reading! Frank McCourt, the author of this memoir, retells
the story of his childhood first in Brooklyn, New York and later in Limerick, Ireland. McCourt
suffers a cruel life of poverty, neglect from his alcoholic father, and relentless pressure from the
Church and his school yet is able to overcome these obstacles in the end and return to the states to
start his life over. I loved this novel and i promise that you will too! Go now and start reading
it!
