'Tis A Memoir by Frank McCourt(Listopia)

3 stars
This book picks up where Angela's Ashes left off. It was a fascinating yet slow read. The story just did not fly off the pages for me, I found myself waiting for him to move on and connect the dots of the picture faster. Still worth reading and enjoyed a peek into another person life story.

I agree .... here's an excerpt from My Review

McCourt has a way with language. His direct, present-tense style has immediacy to it that just keeps me reading. He doesn’t shy away from that which is painful, embarrassing, or downright depressing. I was anxious to see him succeed, but I was frustrated with his apparent inability to get on with it. ... His first book ended on such a high note of hope and opportunity; I was expecting more of the same, and this one didn’t quite deliver.
