'Tis

‘Tis

By: Frank McCourt

Review By: Quinton Hetland

     ‘Tis is about Frank McCourt who at the time almost always needed money, went to war, and did many things, probably too many to name in one sitting. He also married and became a school teacher, but it doesn’t matter if I tell you because it’s all about what happens while he’s doing this. So, in conclusion, read the book or you’re missing so much, nobody can begin to understand, First start with “Angela’s Ashes”.
