5.0

Felt emotionally tied to this book, as after reading it my grandfather (an immigrant from Ireland) once said this was essentially his childhood.

Great writing and very detailed descriptions of life in poverty. I did find the ending to be a bit odd and lacking closure. I also found some of the details within this book to be unnecessary.
