Frank McCourt use of tragic humor in this book is brilliant, I’ve never in my life thought a book could make me want to cry, laugh, and be so angry. This book is truly makes you feel so many emotions while reading it. I wasn’t a big fan of biographies before read this book, this book made me love reading biographies that tell the struggles of many people up bring with a lighthearted twist to it.

child death from illness; this spoken about a lot in this book as he had multiple siblings pass in their adolescent years. Child abuse; it’s more neglect, as they treat him differently from the rest of his siblings. Incest; in the book it mentions that his mother is being sexual assaulted (?) by his uncle. Grief; there is different type of way each person in the book griefs especially depending on which person passes on.
