I think he wrote 3 in total. I also understood it had been pretty much debunked - there were a number of inconsistencies I picked up when reading it, and more came up over the years from people who knew him as a child.

I will admit I wasn't moved by it. I didn't enjoy Angela's Ashes either. Not that I'm particularly hard-hearted, just these kind of books don't do it for me. I found it poorly written, simplistic and maudlin. Hmmm, perhaps I am hard-hearted. But if someone is going to lie to get my sympathy I'd prefer a better standard of writing.
