There are some good things in his books although his Irish novel was awful. He was a pop writer, what more can be said? I don’t know why Israel cares so much about Poland at this point. The future is where it’s at.

He was a pop writer, but I read his books avidly when I was 15 to 19 and I believed what he wrote was true -- for a long time Battle Cry was my favorite book.

He influenced me at least and I'm sure a lot of other people in believing the stereotype of Poles -- when I moved here I found it wasn't true.
