Both too much and not enough happening at the same time. I found myself skipping whole chapters of useless character development and not feeling lost at all

This book was enjoyable; serious in places, lighthearted in others and touched on contemporary topics that many can relate to. An entertaining listen.*

*I've started the year off by delving into audio books which really changes my experience of a book.
