Everyone has an opinion of this guy. Sure, he gave voice and call to action to countless post-adolescent boys. His words rang true and continued to bleed into our minds with the fifth, sixth, tenth readings. So accessible - his books, not the man. Personally, I never could finish Raise High...Left the last four pages. Unread. Had to leave something behind. I'd already read the others, plus those volumes of pirated stories from his earlier days. Now, with wide speculation of a dozen or more completed, unpublished novels - kept in a locked safe near his NH home - I may well finish those last four pages. A legend gone. One of the best we ever had.
