Summary: Angela's Ashes
Review: I hated this book. I had to read it for a class in school, and I did not enjoy it at all. If I would have the choice again I would say NO!

Summary: Flawless and gripping, but it's adult stuff!
Review: At unexpected times of the day I suddenly find myself weeping for Angela. I want to do something to honor this woman, or her memory. I want to know when her birthday is, to have flowers put on the altar for her. I want to know when she died, to light a candle for her. I imagine having her over for tea in my home, on a white tablecloth, with my best china and flowers. Please Frank, let me know that you brought your mother to the states. Let me know that she had some good days in her later years. Please let me -and thousands of other readers - know.

Summary: The best book I have ever read.
Review: There are already many reviews for "Angela's Ashes," but I thought I'd put my two cents in anyway. Simply put: it is the best book I have ever read, and I've read a fairly extensive amount. McCourt has written a book that has everything. He tells the story of a poverty-stricken family that desperately tries to fight off their environment with such humor and eloquence. By the end of the book, McCourt's writing evoked so many different emotions. This was the only book that I have read where I forced myself to put the book down. I did so because the story and writing style were so amazing that I actually wanted to prolong the reading experience. If it were up to me, I would have given this book far more stars than just 5. Regardless of the genre you may normally choose, if you can buy only one book for the next several years, buy "Angela's Ashes." You will not be disappointed.

Summary: An enchanting and tragic, yet humourous story! AMAZING!!
Review: Angela's Ashes is a book of tragedy, humour and will power. It enthralls the reader from page one, and tells the story of a young boy, and his escape from poverty, starvation, and cruelty. Frank McCourt, author, and subject of this memoir is amazing. The most amazing part is that his story is true, and that he actually survived to tell his tale. Even more amazing is that he is still able to tell his tale with both eloquence, passion and with remarkable forgivness. a truly amazing book, and an absolute pleasure to read.

Summary: terriably sad ,but all too true....hits home
Review: This story was so sad. It makes you grateful for all the gifts God has given you. It is very realistic. I chose to read this book , because I am an Irish-Catholic. I found the dialog to be ture to life. It gives a true picture of the Irish-Catholic family of that period. This could have been my family.

Summary: When life gets hard, I think of Frank McCourt
Review: I read this book over a year ago and I still carry it in my heart to this day. When a book effects me like this, in which very few have, I know it is a must read. I still picture in my head the squalor and despair that was apart of Frank McCourts life every day, and yet his spirit could not be broken. My next read will definately be Malachy's "A Monk Swimming". Thank you Frank McCourt for sharing your life with us.

Summary: You'll be brought to tears, then laughter, in one paragraph!
Review: I wanted to reach into the pages of this outstanding book, and scoop up little Frankie and his brother Malachy. To carry them where they could play in a green playground, eat a decent meal, wear shoes with no holes. Frank McCourt tore my heart out with his tale. I have never been so touched by a biography. A MUST READ!
