The youngest of the McCourt brothers.
First there was 'Angela's Ash's and other books by Frank McCourt. Then his brother Malachy with the book "And a Monk Swimming". Now the youngest of the McCourt brothers, Alphie has written a book.

Complete waste of trees. Not even worth one star. The author is a failed bartender, restauranteur, alcoholic, son and now author - simply riding on the coat tails of brothers Frank and Malachy.

quick read and funny/sad autobiography of Frank McCourt's youngest brother. He writes as if he's telling you a story, complete with asides and commentary.

Thought this might be good, as I really enjoyed his brother's works. I was also thinking it would be more about his childhood in Ireland. Big disappointment

the third McCourt writes his memoir; this one has not much to say. He comes to NY after the older two, flounders in various jobs, eventually does very well in restaurant business, but then that falls apart. the end, basically.

A good book on tape once you get used to his dry, slow delivery style. Very enjoyable story teller!

I loved Angelas Ashes, Tis and Teacher Man, so I was hoping for another great read. This was okay, but not what I wanted. Interesting enough but certainly not Frank.
