Angela's Ashes is the only book I've ever flat-out
hated. I know it's unfair, because it was his life and all, but geez! "We were sad and we were poor and I wanked a lot, and then I went to America and on my first night I got some. The end." I wanted to hurt that book by the time I was through with it. It's a good thing it was a promo copy, because I would have been even angrier if I'd paid money for it.
Hope you enjoy it!
And no one grew into anything new, we just became the worst of what we were."
