Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt

challenging sad slow-paced

3.5

I don't think I've ever really heard about poverty at this magnitude. It was really interesting reading about it from the perspective of a child (Frank). It is described so matter-of-fact, so simply and straigh forwardly, and it's gut wrenching. It was a slow read, for sure, but I didn't find myself getting to bored by it. Not a lot happens, and there isn't a lot of change in individual characters, which makes it a very realistic chronicle of the impoverished life, at least that's how it reads to me.
