This helped me through many days of a bad commute. Well written, beautifully read. The audio CD is organized into many small chapters so it is very easy to back it up a little bit if you need to or want something repeated (not true of all audiobooks, in my experience, which force you to listen to a much longer "chunk").
Should appeal to those interested in Ireland of the 30s/40s, those interested in public education (especially NYC mid-20th century),those interested or involved with teaching (and dealing with students, parents, administrators.
Some really memorable moments, especially those dealing with some of his more creative teaching techniques. I own this and might post it someday, but not until I've listened to it another time or two.

A very good "listen."
