Angela's Ashes

by Frank McCort

ha anyone read this?

Yes, read it... cried through almost the whole thing! It was really good but TOTALLY sad.

Edited to say,

And it's based on a true story, too!! Frank McCourt's autobiopgraphy, in a way. I haven't read the sequel, ' 'Tis ', but my sister read it and said it wasn't as depressing as Angela's Ashes.

good to hear, I am only 1/4 a way through it and was hoping I was normal to feel so sad while reading it

I loved the part about the water in the kitchen.
SO real!

Loved it!!

Yes, Theresa, it was funny about the water in their apartment. What did the family say-the first floor was Ireland (with all of the water) and the second floor was Italy (because it was so hot).

It is a sad story, he had a childhood that I couldn't even imagine enduring! I found it a bit uplifting knowing that in spite of all of the problems he faced, he went on to become a successful author.

Tis is a great read too (but I like Angela's Ashes more)!!

Really good.

I didnt like the follow up book 'tis'
