My husband and I âread' Angela's Ashes together with me as the reader. I have heard of the movie, but never seen it and didn't really know what the book was about. As I was reading, my husband kept saying, âit is just telling stuff about someone's life' and he kept wondering when it would get better. Apparently, he was hoping for lots of action. I, on the other hand like all types of literature so a story about someone's life was fine with me. It seems impossible to imagine growing up in such poverty with all the struggles they went through, along with the alcoholic father and all the different dynamics of the family and characters in the author's life. I certainly learned quite a few new words, whether they were curses or daily language of people in Ireland at the time. At the end of the book, we learned there is a sequel and I am going to be looking for that; I like to know, what happened next. Yes, I'll read it aloud to my husband, too. ð Personally, due to some of the content, the book is for adults and not younger readers.
