Summary: A wonderful, powerfully moving book.
Review: An excellent book. It is so moving and touching. I found myself crying and laughing at the same time. You could hear Frank's Irish accent throughout this heart-wrenching book. I would love to meet Frank McCourt someday.

Summary: A very sad, funny and inspirational memoir
Review: I actually decided to purchase this book after seeing Frank McCourt on the Rosie O'Donnell show.. From the beginning I found myself caught up in Franks memories of life lived in unimaginable poverty. I also found myself not wanting this memoir to end.. Currently I am reading Frank's brother Malachy's memoir.. I have high hopes that Malachy can match his siblings honest and introspective style of writing... I highly recommend Angela's Ashes.

Summary: McCourt is a literary genius.
Review: What a wonderful sense of humor and art of description. The Irish are noted for their gift of "story telling" and McCourt is #1. I've recommended this book to friends and family and they all loved it too! Can hardly wait for his Franks' next book.

Summary: compelling and memorable
Review: I just finished Angela's Ashes and my mind compells me over and over again to think about Frank McCourt's astonishing triumph over an underprivileged childhood. He makes me look again at a snapshot of my brother and me at ages 6 and 3 in 1950. I'm wearing his hand-me-down overcoat and his brown shoes. My brother's clothes made me feel special and happy not sad and sorry for myself. How little we need to be happy. Mr. McCourt has made me remember how good a warm soft boiled egg with butter tasted when I was a small child. My parents had little to offer but love and I am greatly honored to have had such a gift of dedication. Thank you Frank McCourt for making me remember that the human soul can triumph over overwhelming odds and be the better for it. Thank you Mr. McCourt for a special book that I will remember in my heart always. Thank you Mr. McCourt for helping me not visit the guilt of nonsense spread by supersition and ignorance.

Summary: An ebullient embodiment of the indomitable Irish spirit
Review: Reading this book while in the west of Ireland, some of it near Limerick, I was both crying and laughing at McCourt's ghastly tale. At last I'd found someone with a childhood like mine, and worse to boot! Only the Irish could find humor and love amidst the wrenchingly painful poverty. A true tribute to the resilience of the human spirit - McCourt reveals the dark side of what it means to grow up Irish Catholic and poor.

Summary: a beautiful book, when I started I couldn't stop reading
Review: Before I write about the book, I want to say that it's real difficult for me to write about it in english because I'm still learning to write english for school (I'm 17 and almost ready with my secundary school) , so that's why there will be a lot of mistakes. Sorry.What I liked a lot about this book, was the way it was written, simple and clear. The humor was also great, the book tells about an miserable childhood, but still there are things to laugh or smile about (not making fun, if I wrote that wrong) and though it is a book about an poor and miserable youth, still you can feel some luck in the describing of his youth (in my opinion). It's a real big book, but I was never bored, I enjoyed every minute of reading.

Summary: I could not put this book down
Review: This is one of the best books that I have read in such a long time. You can not put this book down at all. It is hard to believe what a hard life Franky went though. In this book I laughed and cried. By reading this book you learn more about caring for what you have. This is a great book but it is sad.
Rating: 
Summary: too depressing to be true
Review: I read the book, and the harrowing experiences of the author at times seem too depressing to stand an inch in the truth, tending to be more like a tv soap opera script that just could not see the light of day.

Summary: a wonderful book about a young boy and his family
Review: I read this book, becouse everybody in my class in school have to read one. I started it one week ago and I am so impressed. It is very well written. You can feel while reading it how much these family suffers because of having not enough money. It was quite a good experience for me. Please excuse any mistaces.
