Not the best memoir I've read

This is a memoir about the author growing up in a working class family in Glasgow. I read this as part of my dissertation on memoir but was deeply disappointed. The childhood language and the adult language are disjointed, the transitions from the adult self and the child self are awkward and the story (for me) was flat. That's not to say its a terrible book. Some of the memories are sweet, vivid and well put together.

"An old French film with Simone Signoret, and I think Paul Meurisse is in it. It’s the film that terrified me as child, with this very simple scene where she pulls a curtain back in an upstairs window, and he’s watching from the yard. That was actually probably the first horror film I ever saw. It was a very scary. I was a small child. I just remember the simplicity of that moment when she pulled that curtain back. So there’s that, and they did the remake with Sharon Stone that was not very successful and wasn’t very well made."
