Summary: This book was amazing and the saddest book I have ever read
Review: McCourt was amazing how he bought Ireland alive. You could feel the poverty and understand the anguish he endured. He was an amazing child, he had a will to survive, his mother should have left his father soon after the birth of his brother, but the times did not allow this. This should be compusary reading for all teenagers with a want everthing attitude, they may realise the suffering people have had to endure to give them the life we anjoy to day

Summary: A book that provides a key to the Irish character.
Review: How could a man from Ireland, born during the Depression have so much to say to a woman born on the South Side of Chicago during the 1950's? Frnak McCourt was able to tell me more about the Irish character and therefore myself than any family member. The book is excellent and the tapes are even better.

Summary: A Must For Anyone Interested In Irish Heritage
Review: Frank McCourt's impeccable descriptions of his childhood are on display here as he takes us through his childhood of poverty. I could feel the daily struggles he and his family faced day in, day out. After reading it, I am now anxious to listen to the tapes to hear Frank McCourt tell it to me again!

Summary: A Classic!
Review: I am in awe of this writer's talent! The book speaks to the triumph of the human spirt. The ending left me hungry for more and I await McCourt's new novel anxiously. Please tell me Frank what became of Angela, Malachy Sr. and the other characters that I came to know in your amazing book!

Summary: A great read. Makes one reflect
Review: I was reluctent in buying this book. I just finished it in 2 days and have to say I am glad I spent the money. McCourt's literary style is beautiful. I have to admit that it was hard at first to read because of the Irish dilect, but you get used to it. For those people who say that there was no reason for these people to put up with the standard of living that the charecters endured, you must keep in mind that this was over 60 years ago. Times change. This story makes me realize that, though my life gets tough, there are many people much less fortunate than I. Makes me want to hug and cherish my children.

Summary: Angela's Ashes comes alive from Frank McCourt's voice.
Review: I usually "read" a book, rather than "listen" to it, however, I was offered the audio version from my sister-in-law and accepted it and I am glad I did!!! I loved the book and I think that having McCourt tell it to you adds another dimension to the story. I really don't think I would have gotten as much out of it, had I read it. McCourt really "tells" the story to you and I enjoyed it very much.

Summary: Ten stars....Magnificent!
Review: Angela's Ashes is the greatest book i've ever read. My regards to Frank McCourt, who lived through such an ordeal with great love for his family, and even in happiness. How? If I were set to the same task, I would never find happiness, nor the answers to all my worries and questions of why. I recommend this book over any book in the world. Not only did you teach me a magnificent story, but you gave me a new view on my irish heritage. Thank you Mr. McCourt!!!
