Tis worth a read, Aoû 4 2009
'Tis a good book. If youre a big fan of Frankie McCourt from Ireland, then you might be interested to find out what happens once he gets to New York. Its a very different type of story than Angelas Ashes, and in my opinion, definately not as good. Frank still deals with hardship, and still from a fairly naive point of view, but theyre not the type he dealt with in Ireland.
Overall, I enjoyed Tis, just because its interesting to see what happens in the life of the little boy from Limerick

Tis a good book, Fév 14 2005
The simple title of Frank McCourt's latest book is an odd couple to the complex content and self-reflection found in TIS. Slightly less depressing than its preceding ANGELA'S ASHES, the book packs thought, emotion, and new found maturity. As young Frankie decides to board a boat to New York, his childhood ends and TIS begins. Through new jobs, new friends, marriage, children, confusion, happiness and ever looming death, you grow and argue with Frank from page one. New experiences are in turn humorous and discouraging; his conclusions of them are honest and profound. As life throws him down, you will fall with him. And every time he gets back up, you will find hope. The story can be related to by anyone with a heart and mind. If you have ever felt loss, confusion, or self-pity and need an answer, here 'Tis. Would also recommend another great memoir/fiction book-----------------------------------BARK OF THE DOGWOOD----for a great time-funny, harrowing, and above all, well-written.
