’Tis: A Memoir Audiobook

" Good continuation of Angela's Ashes. Love Frank McCourt's style of writing. He was the master storyteller. "

" Soooo disappointing after Angela's Ashes! "

" I love Frank McCourt. His account of his life is inspirational, cant wait to pick up Teacher Man. "

" I love McCourt's writing style. I loved Angela's Ashes when I read it, and I'm looking forward to Teacher Man when I finally get around to it. "

" Just like his last one, this one was touching and sad and funny all at the same time. "

" Lacks the emotional punch of "Angela's Ashes," but is an effective conclusion to many of the themes and threads developed in the earlier work. "

" non fiction book on tape. Loved this story about Frank McCourt's life. "

" Definitely not as good as Angela's Ashes. It was so disappointing that i didn't even bother reading Teacher Man. "

" I also enjoyed this one. His adventures continue in America and things pick up for him. "

" I did not like this even half as much as Angela's Ashes. I felt as though this was a "just because I can" type of book. Nothing inspiring and really quite a downer. "

" Tis was great. I enjoy reading anything Irish. "

" I liked it. His stories are easy to read. "

" Wished I could say that I loved this one as much as I loved Angela's Ashes, but I didn't. Still interesting (and again, I "heard" this one as audio, which made it come alive with McCourt's own narrating) but his childhood (subject of Angela's Ashes) had much more evocative material. "

" Beautifully written part two really keeps you involved "

" I just found it hard to stick to. "

" Wonderful-as good as Angela's ashes "

" i thought it was really good but he had a kinda funky way of writing "

" I like the way Frank McCourt writes his books but there's something aobut it that can get tire-ing at times. On the other hand, I love how he tells his own unic story. "

" Liked this book and found it a far easier read than "Angela's Ashes." I enjoyed his humor and his wit and found the way he tried to fit into life in America entertaining and heart wrenching at the same time "

" Any book following Angela's Ashes is certain to be a let-down. But it is well written and tells what happens to Frank in his adult life. I found myself cringing at his life choices, but at no time does he encourage the reader to feel sorry for him or his state of affairs. "

" not as good as angela's ashes. very dark, yet still interesting. "

" I loved this book just as much as Angela's Ashes. Frank McCourt is such a fabulous storyteller. So sad that he is gone; he seemed to be such a good man and a caring teacher. I enjoyed his brother Malachy's book too; although not as much as Franks'. "

" Not the best of McCourt's books. The second out of three books he's written to date. "

" Not as good as Angela's Ashes...still interesting though. "

" This made me proud to be Irish. I laughed and cried. "

" Almost as good as Angela's Ashes "

" Didn't like this one quite as much as Angela's ashes but still a great read. "

" i love the way that frank mccourt narrates the story of his life, he is at times selfpitying but doesnt apologise for it! "

" Frank McCourt is a wordsmith who bleeds compassion. For reals. "

" Just love his skill of writing with which he succeeds to present even the most dire situations in a somewhat humorous light. Read all three of his books. "

" slow,liked the part where he taught high school in New York "

" The subject matter was very interesting, but in one ways it felt like on very long run-on sentence. "

" A good friend of mine is Roman Catholic. I grew up with Catholics on the East Coast. Based on this book, I was flabbergasted as to the guilt that the author carried from his Catholic roots. Sheesh! Who would have known, if it was not that well written. "

" It was good to hear the second part of his life. Still sad but nice to have closure knowing he had a better life in America. "

" Avevo già letto ehi prof! e mi era piaciuto, questo è stato una conferma. Ben scritto, avvincente anche se non è un giallo. "

" Book #2 (of 3) of McCourt's memoirs. Excellent! "

" As with McCourts' previous work, I was sad to finish this. You just keep hoping for one more chapter. This picks up where "Angela's Ashes" left off and goes all the way through to the deaths of McCourts' parents. It takes you from laughter to sorrow and back. "

" Tis was really good read and I would recommend it to anyone who likes to read books that are written out of life experiences. It didn't however have the same impact as Angela's ashes. "
