Captivating
A brilliantly narrated story that always had me rooting for Frank. Rising from the ashes indeed

Any additional comments?
Pity it is only available in the abridged version. It is a book that lends itself to both listening to and reading

Disappointed
Would you consider the audio edition of Angela's Ashes to be better than the print version?
I was really looking forward to listening to Angela's Ashes as i adore the film. I was disappointed to find that the audible story was abridged. I never see the point in listening to an abridged version of a story as you are missing out on so much and it just seems pointless. I did not realise this was abridged until i had already bought it. Good book but would have loved to hear the entire story.

Lovely story
If you could sum up Angela's Ashes in three words, what would they be?
Sarcastic, funny, Inspirational.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Angela's Ashes?
When he 'helped himself' to the dead woman's loot...I kept on laughing at his use of words there
What does Frank McCourt bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
I am into accents and hearing the rich Irish and american accents made me feel as If I was there watching it all.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes...very sad that it was abridged.

Too abridged
I love this book, it's in my all-time top three. Hearing it read by Frank was fabulous, though I was disappointed not to hear most of my favourite stories from the novel.
