This is the second book by McCourt I read, Angela's Ashes was the first one which I didn't mentioned in my blog. Will write about that as well. But Teacher's Man first.
It was a mix of autobiography where McCourt talked about his experiences as a teacher in US in a funny and witty style. It is full of anecdotes how he dealt with all his students and authorities.
This book reminded me of one of my teachers who was a lot like him and we should admit that after family its a teacher who plays an important role in our life, affect our personality and shapes us in something what we are. The worst part is that not all the teachers are good but it takes only one to make you good.
Don't know what to write about the book as it is something which you can get only if you read it. Only thing I want to say is that I wish I could have been the part of his class.
PS: This thought fall on my conscious lot many times if the movies based on a book or literary piece can really do the justice what an author wants to convey. And I think that even if the cinema is a terrific medium there are few things that it can't propose the way it was meant to be.
