Title: Laughing all the way to the bank
Review: Talk about brand extension! If you weren't cynical about publishers before, you will be now. McCourt can't write. The book collapses after the first chapter. The space devoted to his gold-smuggling career is repetitious filler, not funny the first time around. Who edited this mess? The problem with the book is not that McCourt was a womanizing drunk: it's that he can't make the life of a womanizing drunk sound funny or interesting.
