Helpful Score: 7
This is a wonderfully written memoir of Frank McCourt's childhood, first in New York and then in Ireland. You see his mother (Angela), father, and siblings live a very hard and tumultuous life. Frank McCourt's writing style is very unique... very conversational. But, also very colorful... you can see what he sees and feel the emotion he feels. You will laugh out loud at times and feel like crying at others. The book ends with great hope, as he heads to New York to begin his adult life there. The next book, 'Tis, continues the story. Highly recommended.
