COMMENTARY: I may have written something a bit too personal for some peopleís taste, but I couldnít think of any other way to write it. I didnít like having to take Adamís family and friends to task for so inserting themselves in the text, plus detailing his final hours and days. I guess I just think they could have found a more measured and tasteful way to put down their remembrances of the man. Having lost my Dad this year, I understand what drives people to want to speak out in memory of a dead relative. I just think they shouldnít have used his autobiography as their pulpitódidnít seem right to me.
