emmarj 's review for:

Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt
2.0

I didn't like this. It's my own fault, however. I very rarely enjoy non-fiction. Even more rarely do I enjoy memoirs. Listening to this book was a bad idea from the start, so it's really no surprise that a month and some change later, I'm simply giving up on it.

I love this story. I know the basics, I've seen the movie, I read the cliff notes. The story is... amazing. It is simultaneously depressing and uplifting. I only wish the telling of it didn't put me to sleep.

Don't take my word for it, go read some other reviews before you make a decision about whether to read this book or not. Preferably reviews written by people who actually like non-fiction/memoirs.
