Un libro increíblemente bien escrito, en el que el autor deja entrever no solo lo que está sucediendo si no la evolución emocional que el desarrolla, al igual que si entorno conforme avanza la trama.
Lo que más he disfrutado ha sido los cambios de visión que se ven en la novela con el paso de la niñez a la adolescencia y juventud. En ellos en un comienzo lo que era totalmente dramático se veía como algo recurrente del día al día, con la visión inocente del Frank niño, sin embargo, con el paso del tiempo esta visión pasa a ser más seria, juiciosa... ya que se da cuenta de la realidad en la que vive.
Se me ha hecho un libro bastante rápido de leer que te trasporta totalmente al tiempo y lugar en que se desarrolla y te hace comprender, sentir pena, odio, amor... Hacia cada uno de los que participan en la historia.
Muy buen libro.

Frank McCourt nous raconte son enfance passée dans un premier temps à Brooklyn ensuite en Irlande plus précisément à Limerick. On se rend compte que pendant les années 30/40 que pour beaucoup de personnes la vie est rude. D'ailleurs Frank n'a pas eu beaucoup de chance, premier d'une fratrie qui finira par être composée que de trois enfants.
À lire pour nous rendre compte de la chance que nous avons actuellement !

Lots of good things about this book (rawness of the writing style, the dialects, the consequences of indoctrination) but personally, it is simply just too dull for me.
I noticed only after finishing I picked up the abridged version. Wouldn't be fair to rate it without reading the whole thing but honestly from what I read I doubt I will make myself get to it.
Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt can only be described as the epitome of a memoir. With comedy at its best Frank McCourt turns misery into true hilarity as he chronicles his life growing up dirt poor in Ireland. Even after the many tragedies that strike his family Frank McCourt still keeps a positive outlook on life and manages to find the story in everything whether its his miserable times in the Catholic Church or the angel on the seventh step who gives his mother babies. Overall I loved everything about this book. The writing was so raw and honest yet still brimming with comedy which made for a very interesting reading experience. There were so many points in this book where I wanted to cry out of sympathy for young Frank and only a minute later I would be laughing out loud at the joke that he had made out of his life. One thing that I found very interesting about this book was how even though we as readers can see how horrible Frank's family is to him the whole story is filled with forgiveness and we never hear of grudges held against anyone who was a part of his terrible life in Ireland. Frank McCourt's writing style is unlike anything I have ever read. He is ultra descriptive while still managing to be subtle and humorous and all of his writing has meaning. Even though his life deserves a major pity party Frank McCourt sure isn't throwing one for himself. His writing is not "Woe is me" as so many other memoirs are, in fact Frank McCourt actually appears to be great full for some aspect of his life. As someone who finds most memoirs to be fake and unenjoyable I was amazed by this book and I would highly recommend it as a must read in your lifetime kind of book. Angela's Ashes is very adult so I would only recommend for mature readers.
I generally don't like to rate memoirs or autobiographies, but I couldn't help myself here. McCourt creates a strong voice from the beginning of the novel, and it quickly caught my attention. And, the voice develops as the character grows older, something I found a little awkward in Look Homeward Angel. I also never read a book that could make me cry, then laugh until I cry within the same chapter. I think that these factors show a truly competent writer.
Would've liked to know what happened at the end but all in all, it was an amazing read and very interesting story of a life. His writing is very effective at transporting you to that moment in time.
