Hook was a funny guy. Actually, I think that his early work was quite important, such that I think it was a travesty that Tom Bottomore's *Dictionary of Marxist Thought* completely ignored him. Having said that, Hook was largely responsible for the fact that he has had such a poor reputation among progressives. In recent years people like Cornel West and Christopher Phelps (and even our own Justin Schwartz) have helped to rehabilitate his earlier work for progressives. And BTW here is a link to my review of Hook's *Towards the Understanding of Karl Marx*.
