However, when McCourt writes about his eye troubles and the (shudder) treatment he experienced, I shrank in my chair and cried ordinary tears. If you want a a book to take you to all extremes of emotion, or if you are at all interested in Ireland, this is the book for you. (  ) bohemima | Dec 9, 2009 |  Moving, funny compelling memoir ( ) chicjohn | Dec 3, 2009 | As the granddaughter of an Irish immigrant, I loved this. It was fascinating to read about what life was like in the country my grandfather left. (  ) booklady2031 | Nov 11, 2009 | A heartrending memoir of McCourt's early life in Ireland written in a moving and completely unaffected manner. But if I had read this first I wouldn't have chosen the Limerick area for a holiday! ( ) debutnovelist | Nov 5, 2009 | Oh, boy, what a book! Un libro meraviglioso che narra la povertà di un contesto storico e le speranze di una famiglia irlandese. Realistico, a tratti spiritoso e disperato. Il film che ne è stato tratto è eccezionalmente "fedele" non solo ai contenuti, ma anche alla forma e allo spirito dell'autore. ( ) melinealilis | Oct 25, 2009 |  no reviews | add a review
