Angela's Ashes review

Title of the Book: Angela's Ashes Author: Frank McCourt  Number of Pages: 363 Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆ Review: Imagine owning one set of clothes, having to beg for coal for a fire as well as food to eat.   For Frank McCourt, this was reality.   His entire childhood he had to struggle to provide for his family since his father wouldn’t.   He lived in extreme poverty in both America and Ireland and had to work to pull himself out of poverty.   Three of his siblings died while he was growing up and Frank was lucky to have made it through his childhood alive.                   One of the few good things to come from this rough childhood was McCourt’s unique writing style.   In his memoir, Frank combines the American and Irish ways of speaking as well as his childhood experiences to make a memorable story.   Frank’s unique experiences as a child is what made the memoir so special.   Also, he wrote his story without restraint.   Embarrassing or not politically correct memories w
