Summary: Absolutely
Comment: Absolutely spellbounding tale of a young person's early life in poverty. He writes in beautifully
colored language, painting the portrait of a child who watches siblings die and other horrid
circumstances. Irish will relate but it works for all origins.

Summary: whiny, whiny, whiny
Comment: I disliked this book from the very beginning. McCourt's prose is graceful, and at times he is
humorous, but overall I found this story to be an exercise in whining. His tone never varies: "we
were poor, my father drank too much, we were poor, my mother shagged her cousin, we were poor, I
masturbated and dreamed of going to America, blah blah blah" There was nothing is this tale that
held my interest and I only finished this over-rated book because I paid [item price] for it. I
read an article in a UK newspaper which was titled, "'Tis Enough of Angela's Ashes." Amen!!

Summary: just the best book I've read so far
Comment: It definitely is my favorite book, together with the second part "'Tis" - I have been looking for a
book that gets so much into me but so far I haven't found it yet - anyone could help me with
that?
It made me laugh, cry and feel sympathy for little Frankie. It got to the point where I
wanted to find his address and write him a letter telling him about my feelings. I know Frank lives
in Connecticut right now and I wish I could have a long chat with him.
Just great!

Summary: Truly A Wonderful & Moving Novel
Comment: I am one of the odd students of my High School. I decided to read Frank McCourt's work in the middle
of my sophmore year. The book displayed a life of hardships through not only a child's eyes,but an
adults as well. Thus, making one be appreciative for the life they have, despite they may think how
rotten it may be in the current time period. Because.. things can always get worse. This is truly a
real life verison of such scenarios as a person could think in back of their minds on how their life
would be if this had happened.

I often feel happy that Mr. McCourt was allowed to reach his dream
of becoming a writer,despite how many obstacles he had overcame in his lifetime. He held his dream
tight of coming to America and he achieved it. As my grandfather always tells me, " My dear, as long
as you believe in something. Then there is no limit on how far you will fly to achieve it.
Regardless, what dark storms may lie ahead".

Summary: This is, truly, an amazing novel!
Comment: I'm 17 years old and I had to read this book for summer reading for school. It was one week 'till
school started and I decided to read the book and not see the movie so I can feel good that I read
it. I thought it was gonna be very boring (the reason to see the movie instead to get credit), but
I was dead wrong! I found myself wanting to read it when I was out places, and I even stopped
playing video games just to read it. It's a very good book and also sad and weird humor in it that
will have you chuckling. I can't wait to see the movie. I recommend this book!
