Also he had a big ol' mancrush on Callum, resented him for it, and then transferred his hero-worship on to Hugh. :P
Yep, so true! You're right though; he was very young at the time, and a lot of it was very new to him. And you can't blame him for crushing on Callum and worshipping Hugh! :)

I'm glad to hear that he's matured. I wonder if he now reads through the book and cringes at some of his comments.

(Maybe he does write RPS under a pseudonym!)
