Were these the really depressing books, some fellow who was the last  
of his breed or something like that? My son read those and raved about  
them. But I think they had an emotional effect on him at 13. Hard to  
tell, I suppose, as he was just starting out on his awful teen years.  
Too bad there's no way to tell for sure what was just normal, more or  
less, adolescent anx  and something more serious. I'll have to ask him  
next time I see him. That was 25 years ago.
