A review by mandi4886
Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt

emotional hopeful informative reflective sad slow-paced

3.5

Great writing and very detailed descriptions of life in poverty. I did find the ending to be a bit odd and lacking closure. I also found some of the details within this book to be unnecessary.
