Longer format would have done wonders

Let me begin this review by saying that I am biased to Beck's work, since he has grown to be my favourite author over the last few years.

With that of my chest: the books potential is limited by its short story form. For that reason it can not achieve its full potential and seems VERY rushed especially towards the end. As a result, it realy does not feel finished. As a person who has read or listened (to) everyone of GBs other works, it is very apparent, that he is not used to this form of novel. Beck is one of the best when it comes to long stories, elaborate worlds and ever darker sequels. As such however, his true greatness relies ok these factors and don't work as well if they are constrainted by limited pages. Maybe there will be a followup that fixes some of these issues but as up then, the book can not quite life up to the Beck standard.

Also the speaker is not inherently bad, but in comparison to the ever great, usually speaking sean mangan, a significant downgrade.

All that said, I still enjoyed listening to the book. However, as stated before, the 4* may be a bit biased... :)
