Angela Question

Why do the children keep getting sick and dying?

Angela's Ashes

I would expect this book to be interesting and have a lot of adventure and struggle. I know so far that the author (Frank McCourt) grew up in poverty in Ireland and has struggles with his family and hopes to move to the United States.
I know Frank McCourt is a retired teacher. He has several interviews about his book and being an English teacher. He is an older man, maybe in late 50's.
I like to read very controversial and dramatic books. I like them to keep my attention with suprising events or dramtic scenes. The most recent "good" books I have read are A Million Little Pieces and Crank.
I chose this book because it seems like a very dramatic childhood. The first couple pages had really caught my attention when I had done the book preview. It seems like it will be interesting to see how the child in the book ends up.

Thoughts on Angela's Ashes

from what I've read in the book i like it so far, its about a boy struggling through the hardship of growing up in his Irish homeland while going through the Depression and the Prohibition. Frankie grows up poor and with many other siblings. i think it will be a good read and make me laugh and cry. i really don't know much about the author but after i read this book of his, i think i will be more interested in his work.
i usually don't read this type of book but I've branched out more within the last year and started to read more types of novels like this one. i usually go for the more fiction mystery/twilight-like books along with religion books on wicca. but i chose this book Angela's Ashes becuse like i mention before i decided to branch out on the types of books i read and find new types that i like and this seemed like a book that i might be interested in. good books that i have read would be "tweak", the "House of Night" series and "glass" and "crank" ,
