Summary: So grim yet touching
Review: I was captivated right from the start and I wasn't ready for the book to end. Frank McCourt made me feel I was right there with him in Ireland and able to see through his eyes. He was able to get across the stark realities of the hunger and filth he had to endur as well as the humilities. McCourt made me suffer right along with him. Also, the strong bond and love between family members were brought out very well. I cried, I laughed, I was repulsed,I was angered,and I cried some more. Granted this is not an "uplifting" book in the sense that McCourt's childhood was so full of deprivation, I still think it is a "must read" for everyone. I am anxious to read Frank McCourt's next book.

Summary: The most awesome biography I have ever read!!!!!
Review: I have to admit. This was one of the first books I read on my own. I had heard how good it was. Believe me. I was NOT disappointed. The book is so brilliantly written. I would be laughing and crying at the same time. I have never read a book where the author made something so depressing so interesting and funny. Two thumbs up! Way up! You definately have to read this book. I can't say how much I appreciate Mr. McCourt sharing his powerful story with us.

Summary: A haunting story that I'll read again and again.
Review: Frank McCourt captures the feelings he had as a child and shares them with his readers with clarity and beauty. If you appreciate "Angela's Ashes", you may also like "A Death in the Family" by James Agee.

Summary: DO NOT MISS READING THIS BOOK!
Review: Angela's Ashes is undoubtedly one of the best books I have ever read ... will ever read. Frank McCourt's telling of his horrendous childhood through the eyes and words of a growing child was not only touching and heart breaking, but pure genius. I will never forget this book or the McCourt family.
