Cathy... this is not the first book in English that I read... I have not problem reading English, but I do know my limits: I cannot speak it and can understand only one word every ten...
Anyway, as for Dennis... well, he is egoist and snooty, but he is right thinking he is important specially for Styx... Just take a look at their productions after he had been turned away from the band... They are playing as opening band for other famous bands... otherwise they would play for their relatives... and take a look at his solo career now...
