It was fascinating to read about what life was like in the country my grandfather left. (  ) booklady2031 | Nov 11, 2009 |  A heartrending memoir of McCourt's early life in Ireland written in a moving and completely unaffected manner. But if I had read this first I wouldn't have chosen the Limerick area for a holiday! ( ) debutnovelist | Nov 5, 2009 | While the writing style was pleasant, I found this book to be a little slow for my taste. It is well written and of a decent story, but there leaves a lot of questions unanswered (in my opinion). (  ) Sovranty | Oct 22, 2009 | I was hesitant to get this book because I thought it would be devilshly boring, but I am glad to say I was proved wrong. I found Frank McCourt's autobiography very insightful and funny. I particularly liked the parts when Frank is praying or is in confession. He is so guilty and nervous, it just made me laugh. Even thought it does tell of the horrors growing up in lower class Ireland, I thouroghly enjoyed it. (  ) mcollier | Sep 17, 2009 | En tragisk og skræmmende historie om 30´ernes krise og hvilken betydning den havde for folk. En historie om Irlands religiøse problematikker. ( ) pernillekong | Sep 13, 2009 | 
 This memoir is an instant classic of the genre -- all the more remarkable for being the 66-year-old McCourt's first book.
