Bookapotamus (289 KP) rated Angela's Ashes (Frank McCourt, #1) in Books

May 25, 2018

Angela's Ashes was an extremely heavy, tragic but touching memoir peppered with humor and emotion and love. Frank McCourt is a master at telling stories, but this memoir of his Irish Catholic family, spans so many subjects, so creatively and so beautifully - from family, to love, religion, sickness, abandonment, poverty... The hardship that immigrants had to go through is heartbreaking - as is their strength, and will to survive and make better lives for themselves. So much emotion after reading this. I don't know if this story will leave me for awhile. Definitely something for the mature reader, and definitely something that stays within you.

Okay - given the Love & Gelato book and it's one of my fav reads during the month I read it - I had super high hopes for this book, and it sort of let me down. I like the fact that it gives you a bunch of Irish facts within the book, I couldn't get enough of those parts of the book - the rest was just overall a slow read, I don't know if I just didn't like that nothing truly happened (until near the end). The concept was sweet broken hearts mending but i just wanted more than I got. Still a great adorable read and I'm glad I read it!

Movie Rating

This movie was on Netflix. It's about twin siblings cursed by an incestual family curse. The sister is trying to break it and get free of it and their old house. It's an Irish tale(at least, it takes place in Ireland). The acting was good and the imagery was pretty creepy. Overall it was a decent "creepy" movie. It's listed as horror but it's not really scary. It's kind of slow moving, but keeps the interest. Between the subject content and the little bit of nudity I'd say it's not for kids. It's worth a watch if you're bored and/or into these kind of creepy, "old style" movies.
