Should the book you’re reading be available for more people to read in Perspectives?

Angela's Ashes should be available for more people to read in Perspectives. The book would appeal to anyone who could understand it. Angela's Ashes is appealing because of the unusual hardships that Frank McCourt goes through with his family. These hardships, cause the reader to want to find out, how and if, the McCourts ever escape their troubles. The Irish vocabulary and the McCourts' move from America to Ireland are the two most confusing aspects of the book, they cause you lose your place. In the beginning of the book the McCourts are in the U.S then they move to Ireland, and Irish expressions like Och, are just like saying Oh, in English. There is some mature content, but it is only suggested, and because it is not the main focus of any part of the book, it isn't necessary for it to be brought up in a discussion.
