PAGETURNERS: A Hedonist?

In today's discussions of Father Joe by Tony Hendra, the consensus was that no one liked Tony Hendra and the book was a veiled autobiography and not at all about Father Joe. Some called Hendra a Hedonist, another said that he was someone who destroyed a lot of lives on his way up, and another said that he was "just not a likeable fellow." Sounds like Father Joe didn't make as much of an impact on Tony Hendra's life as he leads readers to believe. Was Father Joe a failure or did Tony Hendra fail Father Joe?

Want to confirm your disapproval? Read How to Cook Your Daughter by Jessica Hendra. Tony's daughter writes about her recovery from childhood sexual abuse.
