Title: Disappointing but I'm not Irish
Review: I really wanted to enjoy this book based on the high praise it has, almost universally, received. But I found it difficult to read, given both the subject and, more importantly, the narrative voice. That voice might have appealed to me in a short story but wore thin over 60 pages, when I gave up. That's the point at which I realised the style wasn't going to change as Frank grew up--he wasn't just speaking in the voice of a child. I skimmed forward over the rest, which seemed to drone on.But then, I've never appreciated Ulysses either
