Query: Big Disappointment!

Desperate for more of the McCourt family stories, I decided to read this book by Frank's brother. What a disappointment. The ability to colorfully tell a story is there (possibly a family trait), but there was little to cherish in this story. My expectation that this would be a character who would rise above his impoverished beginnings were shattered by his squandering of opportunities. My hope was that the character would at some point take stock of his life and decide it was time to take responsibility for it. I assume things became better, but I have no intention of reading any more by this author.
