Writing book reviews can be fun and challenging. On one hand you want to convey your love for the story, but you don’t want to give too much away. How do you do it?

One example is with today’s LOTD by jmsp206 on Frank McCourt’s book Angela’s Ashes. Jmsp206 writes, “‘Angela’s Ashes’ tells the story of Frank McCourt and his family living in extreme poverty in the small town in Ireland.” The line that got my attention is, “His father, an alcoholic, is later forced to move his family to America to relieve the family of financial debt.” I’ve always been under the impression that America was seen as a place to create wealth, not necessarily as one to relieve debt. Additional photos of an inadequate kitchen and barren loft further demonstrate themes that make this book an anomaly among stories of the rich.

I’ve already flagged it as a book-to-read on my Kindle. If you’ve read it, weigh in on the polls. If not, consider adding the book or movie to your library list.
