Trust Me
I was loaned this book by a friend. He told me just to "trust him" and read it. I was hesitant and wasn't sure if I would like this book, but now you can "trust me". If you have any interest at all in Ireland, culture, sociology, or that particular time period you will love this insightful memoir. This book will stay with you, and after only a dozen pages you will be hooked and unable to put ...

Frankie McCourt Grows Up...Fine Follow-Up To "Angela's Ashes"
A most enjoyable follow up to his childhood memoir "Angela's Ashes", Frank McCourt, in "Tis", now lets us in on life as a poor young immigrant, trying to make his way in the jungle of NYC. Being told over and over, stick with your own kind(the Irish immigrants), Frank as is his nature, does things his own way, which don't always work out to well for him. When we last left off in Angela's ...

Enlightening Essays on Bilingualism

The contributors include politicians, authors, scientists, athletes, educators, and others. One of my favorite essays is "The Learning Curve" by journalist Rubén Martínez. He ...

'Tis worth reading
This book isn't Angela's Ashes, nor should it be, but I'm disappointed that it couldn't maintain the momentum in Angela's Ashes. This book picks up where Angela left off and appropriately ends with Angela's death. The beginning of this book is filled with humor and fun scenes depicting McCourt's early days in America. Unfortunately, I found myself boring of the book about the time McCourt ...

A perfect gift for the Teachers in your life. This book is HUGE, and has plenty of wits and quips from Woody Allen to Virginia Woolf. This is a fun collection of quotations that I highly recommend.

Harper Perennial, 2008

Courageous, Well-Written, and Achingly Real
All of us at some point in our lives will need to confront the issues written about in this eloquent collection -- whether it's our parents, our spouses, our siblings, our friends, or even ourselves. The writers here tackle the subject with intimacy, poignancy, grace...and a great amount of courage. There are stand-outs for me in this collection: the writer Helen Schulman asking her father, ...

Fallen Heroes
As you are reading though the tribute to the fallen, you see thenamesof each of the lost Firefighters scrolled across the bottom of the pages. Each page left me more and more with a sense of loss. I did not lose anyone that fateful day, yet, we all lost. The words you read are quite moving, the pictures mean more than the words and poems. Yet i am most moved by the names of those precious and ...

one of the best books i've read
talking to a friend the other day she said tell me one book you really enjoyed, the story and the story teller's talent for writing. this was the first book that came to mind.

Dublin digitally discerned and declaimed
Handsomely produced, elegantly assembled, and consistently engrossing: these actors read the stories with appropriate sensitivity, wit, pathos, and distance. The detachment of Joyce in his "voice" on the page is re-created well. When I have taught students "Araby" or "The Boarding House," the chance to hear the language repeated as its author would have meant it to be rendered makes these stories ...

Beautiful, Poetic Images of Ireland from Jill Freedman
Gutsy acclaimed documentary photographer Jill Freedman is probably best known for her splendid documentary photographs of New York City police officers and civil rights demonstrations in Washington, DC. So it may surprise people who are unfamiliar with her work that she is also a superb documentary photographer of the Irish people and landscape. Her images show much empathy for both the people ...

Wow - Great book
Got this book as part of a 4 for 3 offer and couldn't be more pleased. Hardcover book, with large, beautiful, sometimes breathtaking pictures of Ireland. I am planning a trip to Ireland this summer and reading up on the folklore and myths will certainly come in handy for my travels. Great offer, everyone should buy this one.
