Title: Don't miss this! No Angela's Ashes, but still great fun!
Product review: I was a great fan of Angela's Ashes, but after reading so many negative reviews of A Monk Swimming at this site, decided not to buy it. After Christmas, I found a copy of it on the bargain table, and thought it was worth checking out. What a treat I had been missing! Now, I'm ordering the audio book, because to hear these hilarious stories read with an Irish brogue has got to be even more fun. I can certainly see how some people might be offended at some of the language and raw anecdotes, but if you can handle such things, this book is a rare treat. Don't expect another Angela's Ashes; the books have almost nothing in common! Remember how Frank McCourt describes his brother in his two books: as an irrepresible, irreverent, adorable, charming scamp, you'll know what to expect from A Monk Swimming.
