As I said, that book was instrumental in my change of viewpoint, and at the right age where I was able to meet, understand and experience. Was the first "non sleazy detectiv" book I think I read and it stuck with me.

As I said to another poster....listening is a skill set, and that book made me temper my big mouth and start to listen, and look into things before deciding.
