This story of an Irish Rogue is full of tales of drunkenness, sexual conquests and criminal activity. I'm not sure how I ended up with this book, but I will read the sequel to find out if he turns his life around.. McCourt is a complelling storyteller and his life story is fascinating despite the darker side. I still have no idea who he is, apart from Frank McCourt's brother (Angela's Ashes), but he appears to be some kind of American success and a prolific writer. Those who remember the 50's and 60's will likely be more familiar with some of the famous politicians, actors and characters he discusses.
