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.

Not as compelling as his first memoir, Angela's Ashes, but still a great follow up. Masterful storyteller.

I liked this book. It carried on his story after Angela's Ashes. Not quite as good as Angela's Ashes but good nevertheless. It is amazing how a person can come from such a hard childhood and pull himself up by the bootstraps. Hooray for him.

disappointed, not as good as Angela's Ashes
