Summary: Good and original but gets repetitive after 1st half
Comment: This book is interesting because the tone is original, and there is humour, and also because of the
circumstances at the time.

One the reader has digested this there is still about halfway to go,
and the second half makes for much less fun, original, interesting reading.

Well worth reading -
but, in my view, not worth keeping or re-reading.

Summary: Angela's Ashes
Comment: "Angela's Ashes" is about a young irish-american boy named frank MCcourt,who lives through the
poverty of the 1920's. He is born into a poor family in New York to his parents Angela Sheehan And
Malachy MCcourt. They later move back to limereck,Ireland hoping they will have a better life. Frank
tells about his harsh life growing up at those times.

My favorite part the book was when his baby
sister was born.Frank had many siblings in the past, but most of them starved to death back in New
York. His sisters name was Margaret and looked like her mother with black curly hair and blue eyes.
margaret was so special because she was the first daughter to be born in the MCcourt family. Her
father loved her very much. Every time she started to cry,he would sing to her until she stoped
crying. I thought this was very nice of the father.

I would recomend this book to people who like
to read about the harsh realty of life. This book helped me realize that I should appreciate what I
have. this book goes into detail about the how hard it was to live at those times.

Summary: Angela's Ashes
Comment: "anngela's ashes" is about a young irish boy,named Frank McCourt, who was born in New York, with his
parents and little brother,during the "1920's".He later moves to Limereck, Ireland and lives
there.He and his family are very poor and they always go to bed hungry.His parents can barely afford
to pay for Catholic school for frank and his little brother Malachy.Since this is a true story,
based on Frank McCourts life, frank talks about what it was like to live at those times.
My
favorite part of the book is when Franks little sister Margaret is born. His parents loved her
alot,because she was the only girl in the family,besides the mother.Frank's father would always hold
her and sing to her.The father never did this to his other children.
I would Recomend this to
People who like Biographies on people of the past.Some people might think this was a really boring
book,but to me it was one of the best book i have ever read.

Summary: Angela's ashes
Comment: I chose this book because,I have seen the movie and I wanted to know what the book was like.This
book is about a young irish boy named Frank Mcourt who was born in New York in the 1920's with his
two irish- immagrant parents and little brother Malachy jr.He moved back to limereck ireland whe he
was four.His mother's side of the family really dislike his father, because he is from Northern
Ireland and has a funny manner also because he dosn't take care of his family.you might think that's
not fair, but the father isn't very caring. whenever he gets paid money from his job, he goes to
bars and spends all his money getting drunk, while his wife and children are starving and go to bed
hungry.frank and his family are very poor and can hardley pay for catholic school.this story is very
sad and helps you appreciate what you have. This story is true and the author is the little boy,
Frank Mcourt, which this story is about.I enjoyed reading this book.
