This was an incredible book, absolutely incredible. I refused to read it for years as I was afraid it would just be way too depressing....well, I got brave & am so grateful I didn't continue denying this book. It is unfathomably sad in parts yet never despairing & what I loved the most was just when I thought I couldn't take anymore nor cry any harder -- the next instant I'm laughing so hard that I'm still crying.
Angela's Ashes is very well written and is a perfect balance of all the good and bad traits found in the human being.
