This book accomplished what all good literature must do; it changed my perceptions of the world I live in. I knew virtually nothing about the civil wars raging in Sri Lanka, or about the terrible atrocities that have occurred there in the past 15-20 years, andmore

Amy
I found Angela's Ashes to be one of the best books that I have read. Although I found it hard to get into, by the end of the first chapter I was right. The way that Frank McCourt describes parts of his childhood with no hate or nastyness amazes me. I would not recommendmore

What a terrifyingly beautiful book. At one moment it's breaking your heart, and the next it's bringing deep laughs. How young Frank managed to evolve into such a graceful and lovely man is a miracle...or a novel by the title 'Tis. We Irish have a great capacity for outliving our misery!

I thought that Angela's Ashes was an amazing autobiography that i completely related to. Not related so much to the poverty, more of the distress and endless sad memories of my own childhood. Being from Long Island or even America, there was a ton of racism against memore

Angela's Ashes is a novel unlike any others I have read. Not only does it keep you wanting more, but brings out your every emotion. Frank McCourt is a truly wonderful author that makes you feel as though you are sharing his experiences right along with him.

This book really got me thinking. McCourt really made me realize that we cannot live by our greed for materials. The whole time I felt that I was there with Frank, struggling. I laughed, I cried, I did the whole bit. Great Book!!!

God, this book is perverted. I don't need to know about looking at naked sister and masturbation, you sick dog. What the hell do I need to know that? and what **** if this Christian kid who's a homo doing in it? Really Frank, this book does not need to be part of ourmore

As I picked up this book, I was suddenly captivated by it's vivid descriptions. Frank McCourt sets up each scene in detail so that, by the middle of the book, you can actually feel the spirit of Ireland moving over you. McCourt's descriptions show the fearmore

I was told by my cousin that Angela's Ashes was an inspirational book. It shows how one's hopes and dreams can become a reality with hard work and endurance. When I read this book I was intrigued, depressed, sad and mad by the actions of certain people in the bookmore

When I read Angela's Ashes, I couldn't help but wonder whether he had exaggerated some parts of his life to make the book more interesting. I also wouldn't advise watching the film before you read the book. When you read the book you feel cheated. However, the book didmore

For some reason I just didn't like this book... I heard reviews and I read it. It took me forever to finish it.... My friend Liz read it, and didn't like it either... I have Irish background so it was helpful to me and I liked that it was set in World War 2, ( like Frankmore

I was so moved by this book, I couldn't put it down. The movie has to comparison to such a strongly written piece. I am also looking forward to reading his sequel, 'Tis. I want to thank you, Mr. McCourt for writing your experiences, and sharing them with the world.
