But, the benchmark that author chooses to express his views, didn't impress me.It not at all hurt me as an Indian, but somewhere his descriptions became ironical in the story @lazy pineapple

It presented such a true picture of Ireland. The poverty and despair have been woven in quite beautifully. In spite of so many hardships. Mccourt does not sound defeated anywhere. I would recommend this book. Plus Indians get mighty itchy when somebody says something disagreeable about them. I too am an Indian and a hindu...but I preferred to overlook this sentence to read a wonderful book. If you keep aside that one sentence I loved this book.
