Angela's Ashes

[Catman25]

So I have to read this book by Frank McCourt over Summer break, well I finished it, but I have to say, it was a more interesting read than I had anticipated.

 

Anyone ever read it?

[Catman25]

Bah, so much for a healthy conversation on a moving memoir.

 

Bump.

I remember, we read a selection of it in English class last year. It was part when he had Typhoid Fever; it was lolzy. I am looking to get it from the library, so I can finish it later.

[Catman25]

OMG SOMEONE COMMENTED.

 

But ironically, I had to read the same selection from my English Textbook too. It actually is only like 10 out of the 300 pages in the story.

it was a suprisngly interesting read. i thought it started very slow

[Catman25]

I thought that too. And it was harder to read with the accents and lack of quotation marks. But that's besides the point, the actual story itself was interesting.

I haven't had the opportunity to read it...But I did watch the movie Version it was really touching...

[Catman25]

There's a movie eh?

 

Hope we watch it in class. :3

Angela's Ashes is riveting for the sheer horror of escalating human tragedy. Just rented the movie and listened to my 11-year-old son repeat over and over.In fact, despite the pious proclamations of the Irish Tourist Board, modern Irish writing remains where it has always been: a long, long way from the spirit of traditional Irish music.
