Not as good as "Angela's Ashes" but still a compelling read. The story seems whiny at times, self-serving at others, yet it's a memoir and McCourt certainly has the right to tell the story his way. Toward the end the author spends some time recounting his experiences in the classroom and those accounts, to me, were fascinating--enough so to make me impatient to read his most recent memoir, "Teacher Man."
