Now, do I think the text fits the book? Yes. However, I did say I didn't like that kind of voice and that is purely personal opinion. I'm sure you could ask a thousand other people and they would completely disagree with me.

Hmm. I can understand your feelings, but I think you're drawing an association based so strongly on a personal experience that I don't think it can really be considered a fair criticism of the book: "X says Y and X says Z. A also says Y, so A also implies Z."
To give you an example, it seems like taking offense at a discussion of hypodermic needle sterilization techniques because you heard heroine addicts talking about the subject.
