Search - 'Tis : A Memoir

I enjoyed finding out what happend to this Irish immigrent after he got to America. It is the sequal to Angela's Ashes

Well, if you liked Angela's Ashes I believe you will enjoy 'Tis. It is a follow up to Angela's Ashes about Frank's life and the different strugles he went through being in America. I really enjoyed this book but Angela's Ashes is still my fav thus far.

I was delighted with this book because I,too, was a teacher and had many of the same problems and many of the same kinds of students. I just wish I had been as creative as Frank McCourt. For teachers there are many joys, many laughs, and many poignant moments or should be. Frank McCourt describes these moments so well. I can not repost the book because I sent it right off to an old colleague who will enjoy it as much as I did.
I have just realized that I rated the wrong book. The comment above refers to Teacher Man. I also requested Tis but have not read it yet. I know it will be good because Angela's Ashes and Teacher Man appealed to me. How can Frank McCourt go wrong! Sorry about the mixup.

I love the voice of this author. His life story through all his memoirs leave me wanting more. A glimpse into the American Irish culture in New York.

Just like Angela's ashes, it will bring tears and laughter. I still haven't figured out the part about his eyes.

This gets 4 1/2 simply because it wasn't quite as riveting as ANGELA'S ASHES. Nevertheless, McCourt was a master storyteller. RIP Frank.
