Title: Boring
Review: I picked up "A Monk Swimming" thinking I was going to get more on the progress of the McCourt brothers journey out of the depths of abject physical and emotional poverty. I knew Frank had made it after reading both of his books. I was so disappionted that Malachy McCort spent 290 pages telling the world what a total reprobate he was, and never got to any level of awareness. A tale of misspent youth, and life. It was interesting to note that the "About the Author" blurb indicates he is a happily married father of 5...I would have liked to know how that happened as the book certainly didn't give one any indication that he was was heading toward an epiphany that would result is such a dramatic change...I am delighted that this occured, and would have enjoyed reading how, rather than the ad nauseam of his immature antics.
