Title: Apples and Oranges Would be More Appropriate to Compare
Review: If people could come to accept this book as a discrete item rather than as a book penned by one of the McCourts, perhaps they could enjoy it fully. This book, perhaps to readers' disappointment, is not about the Limerick slums: it's about an angry young man who blows through America, a hedonist's heaven, and doesn't make excuses for his actions. And what a refrefshing read! Reading this book is like sitting across from M. McCourt at a barroom table as he spins tale upon tale, sometimes making us raise our eyebrows but nearly always making us collapse with laughter. I can almost taste the Guinness, and taste the tears of mirth and regret.
