Angela’s Ashes by Frank McCourt

I noticed something that wasn’t really surprising, but new for me. Whenever I get interested in a book and I can’t find it anywhere, my expectations from this book grow each day. But in the end, the book doesn’t live up to these expectations!

A month ago I read a book called “Angela’s Ashes” by Frank McCourt. I really wanted to read this book since we talked about it in class. After I finished reading the book I froze for a moment, thinking “that’s it?” .
Here’s a summary of the book:

In Angela’s Ashes, Frank McCourt tells the story of his impoverished childhood and adolescence in Limerick, Ireland, during the 1930s and 1940s. Written from the point of view of the young boy, it is a long list of deprivation and hardship.

Now, when I read the summary, I can’t understand why I thought the book is going to be interesting. OK, the book was slightly interesting, but that’s as far as I go. The book is just so…plain.
Anyway, I’m glad to cross it of my “to read” list. I’m currently reading “Emma” by Jane Austen. I hope this one won’t be disappointing.
