Frank McCourt uses a very unique writing style in Angela's Ashes. McCourt writes as if he is letting the readers look inside the mind of a child, which allows for a better understanding of the book and its events. Frank also strayed from the common usage of quotations that is found in books and stuck to telling the story as if he was re-telling it to someone. His frequent use of Irish slang and cusses add to the characters and setting, giving the reader a clear image of Limerick and its citizens. Frank also manages to show the story through his 'innocent eyes' as a child, which allows the book to seem less dark to the reader and to provide humor throughout the story. McCourt is a great storyteller which allows him to make even an autobiography interesting; his sentences have a nice flow to them and the vocabulary he uses isn't overly complicated which makes this book a great read for a variety of ages.
