Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt

challenging funny sad slow-paced

3.5

Ben picked this up last year and loved it so much, he listened to it twice. Then we started listening to it together whenever we were in the car, so it took us months to finish. It was fun to have a car book together! And I probably wouldn’t have gotten through it otherwise. This is honestly such a strange writing style, but once you get used to it, you can laugh along at the tragicomedy. His Irish voice is quite nice to listen to. I just struggled with the repetition. I get that he’s telling his childhood story and that’s how kids think/talk, but it wasn’t my favorite.
