Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt
3.0

This book was a big let down for me. I suppose it was all the hype surrounding it being made into a movie etc. Maybe it's the fact that we already know how poor some people were (& still are) in Ireland, and many other parts of the world. Maybe it's because it read like someone's journal, no insight or foreshadowing into the future, no lessons to be learned. I'm starting to become disillusioned with memoirs altogether.
