After falling in love with both Angela's Ashes and 'Tis, I couldn't wait to dive into Frank McCourt's third and final memoir. AA was amazing for completely different reasons, but I found myself truly drawn to Frank as a person in 'Tis when he spoke about his time teaching. Because of that, Teacher Man of course held very high expectations for me. Well, let me just say that it did not disappoint at all, and it comes as no surprise that this one is easily my favorite among the three!  This book was wonderful from top to bottom. You can hear every bit of love that he has for his students as he talks about them all from the worst troublemakers to the best and brightest. I really enjoyed hearing about some of his more creative ideas and how the kids would get excited about things that no other teacher or administrator considered "proper education." I cried when he recalled meeting up with some of his students years later and the interactions that ensued. I laughed out loud at so many of the anecdotes, the remarks and quips from his students, and the rapid-fire debates that took place in Frank's classroom. I can only imagine what kind of world we might live in if all of our teachers held this kind of passion for the work and for their students.
