The author of Angela's Ashes, I know some people on here were fans of the book.
He died of metastatic melanoma and had been fighting meningitis.

Aww thats soo sad, he was a very talented author and wasn't very old either. A terrible childhood. AA was very gripping, one of the best books i've read.

Angela's Ashes was one of the best books I have read - it was such an insight into Irish living back then and he had the way to make you laugh one minute and cry the next in that book.
I may have to read it again now as I'm thinking about it.
I loved the film too but book was better
