cilie's review against another edition
4.0
The story of McCourt's childhood in deep poverty is a heart breaking one, but also one full of love and kindness, hope and dreams. It reads like a novel with a narrative voice that develops slowly as Frank gets older. The characters spring of the page and come to life; some you hate, some you love and some break your heart.
