I think it is quite reasonable not to like the book. Greene’s private life may be fascinating, but I don’t think is really a part of what we are looking at here, any more than the fact he was what used to be called manic depressive.

Bookpossum . Sorry to try your patience
I think in this case, it’s been easier to stray off topic with the parallels with between the two. But you’re absolutely right!
