Frank McCourt Reading from Angela's Ashes 

God rest his soul. This man was undoubtedly one of the most brilliant authors of our time. I recall in 'Tis he spoke of his college teacher asking his class who they're favorite author was and why... thanks to this man, I have an answer to that question. Rest in peace, Teacher Man.

Frank Mccoourt is amazing! Very gifted writer of our time. I love how he makes humor of his situation. The whole book Angelas ashes is very sad and to be honest there wasnt one funny part when i read the book twice. After watching him read that part I couldnt stop lauging. Very talented writer and speaker. Rip Francis Mccourt! You WILL be missed!

I'm still holding on to 'Angela's Ashes' from the first day I purchased it. Though I lived in a different continent, his childhood in many ways, relates to mine.

I have probably read this book six times, and that is not including having my homeschooler read it to me. His book 'Tis is also wonderful. How he can put so much humor amongst such anguish is amazing.

Angela's Ashes is one of my many favorite books; and one of my favorite audio books as well. If you love the book but never tried listening to the audio version of it, I highly recommend it. It's narrated by the author and it's so refreshing to hear it with his native brogue and his abilities of retelling of his stories.

I’m on my fourth reading of Angela’s Ashes, and I always discover something new each time I read it. I have two friends who were students of McCourt at Stuyvesant high school, and they remember him telling some of these stories to the class.

One of the most gifted writers of my time.I loved his virtual lack of punctuation in his books.He always told his tale in true irish fashion...with a heavy does of sel-deprecating sarcasm.Being almost full-Irish myself on one side of the familt,i related to Frank Mccourt.Every book he wrote left you wanting more.I can't believe he is now gone from this earth.This makes me want to make peace with god just so i'll be able to see him again when i am gone!R.I.P,friend.

Mr. McCourt. My favorite author. His books inspired me to become a teacher.

I think I could listen to him read all day!

Mr. McCourt, I read Angela's Ashes so so many times. Rest in peace... Thank you for writing such a book for us.

Angela's ashes really was a wonderful book

One of my favorite books of all time. He certainly left a legacy.

After you read this masterpiece, listen to it on audiobook. It’s read by the author and it’s incredible.

i laughed so much when i read that part of the book but hearing him reading this piece is simply amazing.... RIP Frank McCourt

i love this book so far and apparently it only gets better... ima go read it some more lol

Mr. McCourt was such a fabulous person with so much insight and irony to share with us all. Wouldn't it be nice to have been able to actually share a pint with this man? Maybe two? (0; rip brilliant man.

Smashing! I knew this part of the book by heart, but hearing him reading his own text makes it even better!

this is so great! I loved reading the book, and hearing the author reading of his own life is awesome!

@hazelwitchhazel thanks for the info! i am reading the book, but i will also get the audiobook!

He was a gift for all of us. ..

I love Angelas Ashes but Tis is my favourite book because I can personally relate much better to it.

Was honoured to meet him, (even if it was for a brief moment lol) Loved his books especially Angelas Ashes. RIP xx

Thanks! They're all from our live Forums in Hartford, CT.

I miss Frank McCourt....and I never met or knew him. He was just a wonderful guy and the literary world and the world in general just won't be the same. RIP Frank.

So inspirational as a humanbeing, brilliant author kind soul humorous to boot. Rest in peace. No doubt with the saints you read about when you were a child.

My father grew up in similar squaller to Frank McCourt in Dublin but he never had the money to emigrate

@MsEllanvannin You're very welcome. Try your local library if you don't want to purchase it. If they don't carry it, ask for an Inter Library Loan to borrow it from another library. :-)

RIP Frank, There truly is no childhood as miserable as the poor Irish Catholic childhood

He deserves to be called 'The Boy Who Lived'.

legend rip frank x

Rest in peace, Mr. McCourt. You were a bamf.

R.I.P.

@jorsotts I did read the book and am well aware that he stole most of the money. I wasnt implying otherwise.

@beggo321 If you had read the book, yu would know that he stole most of his money, thats how he had enough for the ticket.
