Summary: A Remarkable Book
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed Angela's Ashes. Even though he had a terrible childhood Frank McCourt was able to keep his sense of humor and his humanity. I don't understand the reviews that said it was so sad they couldn't finish it. How can it be more sad for the reader than the man that wrote it. He was able to find reasons to laugh in every one of his awful situations (expect maybe when his siblings died).I liked that he showed us the hypocracy and hatefulness of the Catholic church and some of the elders in his life. With all this negativity in his life it is amazing he was able to keep his dreams alive.

Summary: good, interesting, sad, emotional
Review: A wonderful book, one of those, you cannot put away; you always want to continue reading. Although it is - from the literature aspect - not so exciting, it was so realistic, sometimes dramatic, sometimes funny and it is really worth to be read. I am interested, how his life had been going on and how the next book will be ...

Summary: A truly moving piece of literature.
Review: Frank McCourt gives the readers of the world a rare treat as they glimpse into the life of not only a poor boy from Limerick, Ireland, but of a gifted writer in the making.
Rating:
Summary: an uplifting view of human resilience
Review: One of the best books I've ever read, and that's saying a lot. Full of wit and wisdom for anyone who thinks life may not be totally fair. I read it twice the first time (believe me). You NEED to read this book. It'll have you laughing and crying at the same time. WONDERFUL!

Summary: A Wonderful Read
Review: It has been quite a while since I've read such a fascinating memoir. The life and times of the McCourt family on the lanes of Limerick are wrought with sorrow, yet somehow McCourt has the wherewithall to hold the reader entranced with subtle humor throughout. The follow-up, 'Tis', picks up the story in America, but fails to be as interesting as the first book. Angela's Ashes is a "must read".

Summary: Very breath taking
Review: I'm only 11 years old and I'm in the sixth grade and I'm reading this book. Even though it's really sad, I can't put it down. You will learn a lot from this book. Please read it.

Summary: One of THE BEST books ever written in my opinion.
Review: I don't know what you 1-star or 2-star people are looking for...This was an absolutely cleansing experience of a read. One minute I am weeping, with snot running down my face, the next I am cracking up. It touches you in ways you cannot imagine. I am eagerly looking forward to the movie--I'll go alone, so I can bawl all I want to.

Summary: Better heard than read.
Review: I bought Angela's Ashes after hearing Frank McCourt read from it on the radio. Over the radio, it was like the bedtime story you hoped would never end. This is because McCourt is the consummate Irish story teller. Unfortunately, in print, the same story is bleak and largely devoid of the magic Frank McCourt brings to it in the telling. So, if you haven't read Angela's Ashes yet, see if it is available on tape. If so, buy it and save yourself the unpleasantness of encountering this trying story without Frank McCourt as your personal guide. It's like the difference between canned asparagus and fresh.

Summary: It's a touching kaelidoscope of feelings,weaved by life.
Review: I read the book,expecting just another boring journey through yet another life.But as i ate up the chapters,my heart was seared with many emotions.I felt as i was walking beside Mr.McCourt,through his tribulations and trials.His every sentence etched scenes of hardship and tremours of agony,inspiring courage to the reader by his amazing account of inhuman endurance.If I could,I'd like to thank Mr.McCourt for his book,for which I could see more,making my world consolidate a little more humanly.ISN'T THIS A WONDERFUL BOOK...? "T'is."
