Title: A Loser's Lament
Review: As some recent reviews mention, I don't think McCourt is truly proud of his past. But he clearly is not too proud to immerse his readers in the graphic details of his drunken, selfish days. (Which the dust jacket assures us are over and that he is happily married.) Honest? About as honest as a typical guest on Jerry Springer and just as eager to shock. I detect more than a pinch of blarney (B.S.) in these twice told tales. Funny? I never even snickered at his tiresome exploits. Perhaps McCourt's is funnier in person. What's left is a long, boring litany of self-pity, selfishness and exaggeration. Happily married? Let's ask his second wife.
