I cannot imagine this as a 'light-hearted' read, audio or DVD. Thanks to McCourt he can make the most horrible childhood almost pleasant due to his humor. I'd read it in 2000 & watched the DVD recently because I'd forgotten just how miserable Ireland of the era was with the poverty, the Catholic Church views & teachings were. Little wonder the two countries has such strife, not to mention the strife of faiths. For many with Brit-Irish DNA & family stories this can be a revelation. The acting of film is brilliant.
