Irene
Best book I've ever read in my life. It made me laugh, it made me cry and I wanted to read it again from the start as soon as I finished it. Congratulations, Frank. What an achievement!!! I also loved the sequel, 'Tis'. It fulfilled all my expectations. Could anyone provide me with Frank Mc Court's e-mail address, or postal address. Please write more books Frankie...don't stop there.

You know it's a good book when you can put yourself into the author's position, feel and understand his pain, and be so afraid what's going to happen to him next that you're afraid to turn the page to find out what does happen to him.

Torill
Angela's Ashes is a fantastic book which gets a grip on you from the very first pages. You'll get so close to the narrator that you'll feel a loss when the book ends. I'm really looking forward to the sequel.

Izzy
Ok so this book was good, excellent in places; it combined dire circumstances which incurred a great deal of sympathy, with often hysterical wit. It was ruined however by the blockbuster movie which, in isolation, was tolerable but hardly comparable to the original novel.

Sophie
A marvelous book. it's very easy to put yourself in the writer's position, which proves a great writing talent.

Anna
Being a Limerick person this book brought back fond memories. The accuracy of this story is refreshing and the humour in which this story is told is great. Looking forward to reading more of this author's novels if they all are like this one. They are a must to read.. great book.. have now read it several times, always puts a smile on my face.

Nicole
Wow!! I believe that pretty much sums is up. I have never been so moved by a book except maybe Green Eggs and Ham!
