I've had comment about a Kirkus review of my book. My reaction was Kirus is dead, the fiends who run that show now are all on the take; of course without any back-up material to support my position. Actually what Kirkus said really streched credulity to slam me. Comparing me to Jon Krakaur? Is this a slam or a plug? Yes, unlike Krakaur, I didn't invent a different ending because (and this part is important) I like to include TRUTH with my non-fiction. Heh Heh
