Oddly enough, I think I know where you're coming from. I read Aldrin's autobiography and lost all respect for him. Then I realised how much courage it would take to write an autobiography that honest. It also occurred to me that he has actually walked on the moon, and done many absolutely amazing things - despite all the shortcomings he freely admits to.
On the other hand, the anecdotes he provides about Neil Armstrong just reinforce the impression that he (Armstrong) was one of the most exceptional people who ever lived.
cheers,
Andrew.
