Query: Tis Not What I Expected

It's very difficult to review a biographical book that you didn't really enjoy because in some ways you feel as if you are being critical of the author's life. However, I really feel as if this book had no 'oomph'. There was a flatness to it that made me feel depressed everytime I picked it up. I didn't experience any connection with McCourt and his writing didn't make me care about him or any of the people in his life. If McCourt has a sense of humour, this didn't come across either - although I did notice places where he was perhaps attempting some humour, but the overall tone of book made it fall flat. It's like listening to a terribly depressed person trying to make a joke where instead of being funny, it just sounds bitter and disspirited.I would just like to have seen the story told in a more enthusiastic and interesting manner rather than the flat monotone it was delivered in.
