As always the story is epic. The characters are funny, deep, dark with lots of twists and turns. The real challenge is to stop and avoid listening for 5+hours per day to get to the end. This can be addictive so i would suggest to be on holiday when you embark on this journey. I think I went through all these books in less than 2months. The writer is very American so most of his analogies is American, but he does a good job to give a worldly feeling to the series. I personally can’t wait to get into the next book.
