I read this one after being so moved by his first book, Angela's Ashes. I was disappointed in this one. It's nice to know how things turned out for Mr. McCourt, though.

Frank McCourt taught English at my high school in NYC while I was a student there - kind, kind soul. So I'm biased - this is great reading. (People keep gifting me copies of his books, knowing the conenction, so I have this one to pass along.)

I liked this better than Angela's Ashes. The same characters figure in, but the story is even more compelling.

After Angela Ashes I was really excited to continue with his memiors. However, I was disappointed with this one. It seemed to go on and on and he took a bunch of stories of his life and threw them together to create a book.

Ironically, I finished the day after Frank McCourt left us. RIP Mr. McCourt. I can't imagine not hearing this tale from anyone other than the author. No one else could deliver his cadence and humor nearly as well. This is a warm, funny, sad, triumphant tale of McCourt's life when he comes to New York as an adult.

Just like Angela's ashes, it will bring tears and laughter. I still haven't figured out the part about his eyes.

This gets 4 1/2 simply because it wasn't quite as riveting as ANGELA'S ASHES. Nevertheless, McCourt was a master storyteller. RIP Frank.

Not as compelling as his first memoir, Angela's Ashes, but still a great follow up. Masterful storyteller.

Continuing the saga of Frank McCourt's life, 'Tis recounts his coming to America. While not as good as Angela's Ashes, it's still worth reading.
