In fact, you've peaked my interest. Might see if I can get a copy tomorrow.
I know, I was saddened by his brutal honesty about his own character. Maybe I was too young when I read it? I know a friend who said that he read it when he was younger, and hated his character, but went back to re-read it when he was older and understood Hillary's pain and discontent.
It's certainly worth a read, but I didn't enjoy it as much as any other personal account I've read.
But don't let me put you off! (or, rather, put you on )
