Critical Reception
- "The power of Angela's Ashes is that it makes you believe the claim; that despite the rags and hunger and pain, love and strength do come out of misery — as well as a page-turner of a book. And though the experience it tells of was individual, the point, and the story, is universal." - EW.com
- "It takes a masterful storyteller to make readers laugh while detailing a story of oppressive poverty, chronic illness, despicable alcohol abuse and the death of three siblings." - Amazon.com user review
