I didn't know much about his drug addiction or much at all about his personal life to be honest. I always imagined him as being one of the 'clean' guys, maybe that's why it had the effect it did on me. He is doing a follow up book though! Any books you recommend? I've read a few, but somehow never picked up Foley's so they are on order. Like the look of Regal's as well, but thought that might be a bit of a drag once I actually got it.
