Reading the latter, and for three days now, enjoyed it. However by day four as he's bounced by another 40 190'a I'm thinking of all the other books i've read, Paul Richey etc, were nowhere near this exciting. Hope im not doing Pierre a disservice, but I can't help but question the heroics and smell a bit, well. Bovine.

Anyway. Back to the book.
