Summary: Black humour thou name is McCourt
Comment: This guy knows to write. Deserves every award in its category and perhaps more. It takes the reader
through the meandering childhood of the author , who is pleasntly and sometimes shockingly truthful
about it.

It makes you laugh, it makes you cry, it shows you how to smile with tears in your eyes.

Summary: BORING
Comment: What a yawner! Highly recommended to put you to sleep. I was so mad so much of my precious time was
put into this book. I really don't understand what all the hype was about concerning this. I guess
I just must be intellectually challenged.

Summary: Irsh Childhood with BIG American Dreams!
Comment: This book is the account of Frank McCourt and the reminiscences of his childhood spent in Ireland.
The story is told from the perspective of young Francis Mccourt, from the young age of 5 until he
hits the age of 19, and we see him mature before our own eyes as the writing manner changes from
chapter to chapter. This is a story of how Francis McCourt lived and survived through the desolation
of his childhood, with a drunken father. The start of the book is very depressing, with the death of
Frank's baby sister, following deaths of his twin brothers, many parts of the books still have funny
descriptions. I found myself laughing along the way reading this book and defiantly putting a smile
on my face. It is truly amazing the kid has not gone into depression in such an inconsiderate
atmosphere. He even had dreams of going to America and earning big bucks, which many had tried to
convince him to forget. Frank is one determined person to succeed. This is a book not to miss, the
insight of Frank is truly amazing and you see life through a totally different light!

Summary: Shockingly vivid pictures of a harsh childhood
Comment: In an amazing way Mr.McCourt is able to present his thoughts as a child in the mature age he now is;
There were moments that I cried reading this book and many others that I laughed out loud (being in
Frankfurt International Airport as well) and I think that we all know that not many scripts can make
a person laugh out loud in public; It's amazing, fulfilling, sad and funny, but most of all, a life
statement and a good written one; I highly recommend it............

Summary: The best book I've read so far!
