Tis by Frank McCourt (1999, Hardcover)

Frank McCourt has lived a very interesting life and has an entertaining writing style. This book is well worth the time, but whatever you do, don't read it imediately after reading 'Angela's Ashes'! The sequel is never as good as the first, and this holds true to this book as well.

I bought this book due to I read his first one, Angela's Ashes. Frank McCourt is a great writer and learning how he overcame his poverty and pulled his family up with him. I enjoy that he tells his life story very pointblank. There are really no dislikes in this beacause it is based off of someone's life experiences. I do recommend you read the first one so you know where you are at in this one. Great Book!!!!!

I purchased "Tis" by Frank McCourt because it is the sequel to "Angela's Ashes," which won the Pulitzer Prize for non-fiction in 1996. I thoroughly enjoyed that book. However, as of today, I have not received "Tis." I cannot write a review on that which I have not read. However, I will rate the book as "excellent," because Frank McCourt is an outstanding writer.

I bought this book because it is a sequel to Frank McCourt's autobiography (Angela's Ashes). Both books are excellently written. Frank McCourt is an excellent narrator and in many ways I identify with many of his life experiences.

Good companion to "Angela's Ashes" The book has a good storyline and is an easy read--I am planning to locate the third book in McCourt's series.

Iim in a reading group, The group read Angla's Ashes first- that time I was not in the group. We are now at cha. 23 and I enjoy the book very much, the way he writes is very colorful and funny, I lough a lot and I love his writing

I read Angela's Ashes and loved it. I had been wanting to read the second book Tis and found it on Ebay. I recieved it in a short time and in excelent condition and I can't wait to start reading it.

I loved Angela's Ashes that's why I bought this book. Tis was a good continuation book. At times it's a little repetetive but it still was a very interesting book.

I bought this book because the first Angela's ashes was great and heartfelt. Went the author went through was heartbreaking and inspiring.

This seems like it is going to be a great book. I didn't realize it had a miss print in it and some of the pages are all mixed up and out of order. But it makes it a little like a 'choose your own adventure' book having to search for the next page in the story. It has kept me interested enough to keep reading eventhough it poses a challenge.

If anyone has read "Angela's Ashes" by Frank McCourt knowing it is his first book you would just hae to read his second book "Tis." I love NON-fiction--you feel as though you live with Frank and his family as you raad each and every page!!

A great book. Having lived in Ireland, I know what he's saying. The bok is good bur having e-bay DEMAND a review before they stop their annoying messagfes is garbage. Allow good authors to sell their books without mega corporations demanding free marketing. You want my true opinion? Pay for it!

I bought this book after reading Angela's Ashes and I love it. This story starts when Frank McCourt lands in America. I like this book every bit as much as the first, and have read it many times.

Frank McCourt's books are like people. They make a first impression that changes as you get to know them. I've read all three of his books multiple times and see him and the story differently as time goes on.

I LOVE this book and hope you will too.

I also have this book on audio and love to hear it in his charming Irish brogue.

I bought this because it was a sequel to Angela's Ashes and I cared about what happened to this little irish boy. However, I found this book hard to read and painful to hear. I eventually put it down and did not finish it because I felt like I was in on some sort of confession of sins and did not care for its harsh reality. I still cared for Frank but had to let him find his way alone.
