This was an interesting read, was thinking about trying one of his books now though I'd never heard of him before.
Cheers

He wrote a very interesting book called "The Mosquito Coast" which was made into a film.

No apology necessary rainyjim. Just shows we were both compelled to share the same article. Aloha!
