McCourt's Silver Lining Advantages: Quick paced story that will keep you intrigued Disadvantages: Stream of Conciousnes writing style may be too disjointed for some readers ...Such was the case with Angela's Ashes. As a true lover of fiction, I had not ventured into the world of non-fiction for quite some time. Angela's Ashes impressed upon me that a story is all the more poignant when it has happened, and when the author has felt all the pain, the sorrow and the joy of his words. Non-fiction is often equated with truth, but we must remember that autobiographies are not fact such as you would find in a history book. For ... ...that you get in reading Angela's Ashes. The most beautiful thing about this personal narrative is that somehow, in the end, despite all the suffering McCourt endures, it is a joyful recount of a childhood. McCourt's book is depressing simply by the recounting of events in his life--twin brothers dead in Ireland, the one girl McCourt dead in the U.S., a Father's abandonment and adultery with the drink. By all accounts this should be the most horrible ... dyon.peoples 16.09.2008 · Read Full Review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Angela's Ashes - Frank McCourt	Degree of Information How easy was it to read...

The book is first part of the trilogy written by Pelzer of his life, 'The Lost Boy' and 'A Man Named Dave' finish the trilogy. . I cannot say that this is a 'good book' - it is terrible,depressing, heartbreaking, harrowing and yet it took me only a couple of hours to read it because once I started reading it I literally could not stop. The story ( written in the words of a child) - actually starts with ... ...worse is that this is a true story that tugs on your heart strings.

Girl with a many track mind reviews the seductress next door. Advantages: Couldn't put it down... Disadvantages: Not a sequel... The first thing i guess i should say is that i am an extremely slow reader and it normally takes me months to read a book. However, this book took me just under two weeks to read. I felt that this is definately a book that i couldn't put down. The story line is simply brilllaint full of laughter and also extremely sexually explicit which is a great thing if you're in to the sort of Belle-de-Jour sort of book like a handful of women are. I would thoroughly ... ...definatley a pleasure book and will leave you rather excited in more ways than one. The only problem i have with this author is that she hasn't made another book like this. The tone of this book is seriously fun and definately flirty i would say that this is a great summer read however you don't want to be far away from a discrete area and iff you can make sure you're partner isn't too far away... ... cocorocky 14.05.2009 · Read Full Review Ciao members have rated this review on average: somewhat helpful Review of Girl with a One-track Mind: Confessions of the Seductress Next Door - Abby Lee	Degree of Information How easy was it to read...

Fascinating Insight. Advantages: Well-researched and analytical. Disadvantages: At over 400 pages some people might find it rather long. "The Duchess of Kent The Troubled Life of Katharine Worsley" by Mary Riddell is a fascinating indepth analysis of the life of the present Duchess of Kent. The author analyses the forces which shaped the character of the young Katharine from her privileged upbringing in Yorkshire to her unhappy marriage overshadowed first by the domineering presence of her mother-in-law Princess Marina, then darkened by the stillbirth of her last child, mental breakdown ... ...of the book deals with the Duchess's conversion to the Catholic faith and the effect this had on her life, both personal and public.
