If Hitchens' faults and virtues were placed in a balance they would probably equal each other, but two things are undeniable: he was unafraid to put his money where his mouth was, and he was an interesting writer. Politically, he and Orwell were 180° opposed to each other, but I imagine that would make for an even more interesting book.
Seconded.
