Not the easiest read through many voices but seems to give a good portrayal of man. a man who burnt out and yeast was deeply loved.

Excellent book! The only issue I have about this book is David Stanley's statement about Priscilla after Vernon died! I DON'T believe a word he says. He retracted his comments in the past on every one of his statements, however how do you retract something that's already in the book!
