3.5

Sad, horrific, and heartbreaking memoir, but please use quotation marks.

I had to read this book for school, and I was a bit weary at first because it seemed so depressing, but my goodness was this an amazing book! It certainly is sad, but with plenty of humorous and heartwarming moments mixed in. The writing style is really unique, and it's the kind of writing that makes the book really hard to put down. I'm so glad I read this fantastic book!

It's been awhile, but I remember really enjoying this true account of McCourt's life.
