Is there a better feeling than starting a book and realising you will read everything this person has written or will write?

DNF p. 227.
The buildup is so slow that I just lost interest.

Meh.

started to find it a little boring after a strong start.... idk maybe I wanted a bit more plot and a bit less wittering on about neanderthals. like for a spy novel there is hardly any tension or intrigue. and I thought there would be more radical politics. feels unkind to fault it for not being the book I wanted it to be but there you go

A not spy spy tries to infiltrate a group in France. I am not sure if it’s not a good audiobook or a good book but even the action comes off flat in this book.
