He was a very good writer. I read the entire set of his books years ago. My only issue with him was that he would make the presence of a spider sound like a full blown attack by an enraged bull elephant. Mambas chasing kids down and biting them, using a suit of homemade armor made from linoleum floor tiles to flush leopards out of the thick stuff, etc. I'll always wonder if he didn't "embellish" a lot of his exploits a great deal.
