Is there any better than Frank McCourt? Few are his equal. I love his books.

love reading about people who have actually experienced life, like his style of writing but still didn't love quite as much as angela's ashes.

Not as lovely and memorable as some of McCourt's others, but well worth the read.

Continues the same venue as "Angela's Ashes" and continues to keep you spellbound.

Although it was a good read, I didn't find it as fascinating as Angela's Ashes. This was darker and more depressing.

Not as enjoyable as his first book, but once you have read Angela's Ashes - the temptation to read the 2nd book is too great to dismiss

This was Frank McCourt's second novel after "Angela's Ashes" which was fantastic. However, "Tis" fell short of the mark and was a terrible story that was terribly written.
