Book Reviews of Angela's Ashes A Memoir
Book Review: Loved 80% of this book!
Summary: 4 Stars
I rate this book 4 stars, or 4 out of five, for the four out of five parts of the book that I liked. The first 4/5's of the book are wonderful. McCourt writes so honestly and with so much humor that you can't help liking his family even if the family dynamics are hopelessly flawed. I learned a wealth of information about the Irish as well and, though my own ancestors came from Ireland in the 1870's, I felt as if I was learning about their lives, though McCourt's memoir covers a much later period. As far as the 1/5th of the book that I didn't care for, I'm referring to the last part of the book which could be aptly titled: "Masturbation is My Life." I found the authors repeated descriptions of his youthful obsession with masturbating (how, where, when) to be tiresome.
