Incredibly beautiful show, not to be missed!
Another show that is too beautiful for words. This show touches on everything.. loss, alcoholism, obesity, adoption, racism and most importantly, family. Be prepared with your tissues as there is no way to watch an episode without spilling some tears! Incredible cast, brilliant writers, absolutely not to be missed!
  
One of the stars from the TV show Babylon 5 talks about her life and overcoming alcoholism. While I would have loved more about Babylon 5 since it's my favorite TV show, I still found the book fascinating and had a hard time putting it down.

Funny and sad
Super. This novel is written with a first person childhood narration. Whilst this is problematic with regards to the authenticity of McCourts memory, you can not criticise him for his portrayal of childhood innocence. The novel is fantastic, great visual images, told from a convincing narrator, covering topics such as religion, poverty, alcoholism, hunger, death and growing up. I just loved it.
