at first thought it would be another predictable 1st i a series but great ending (or was it)

Good story well told

I still give this book 5 stars despite the lacklustre ending. A superbly narrated and an incredibly detailed book. No doubt the author knows his stuff however I found the ending to be a touch disappointing almost like a firework display when you anticipate the great big finale and it fizzles out. Nonetheless, this is a great book that the narrator brings to life.

not the best ending?

Lots of more details about things than was really necessary but still well told and performed.

Far fetched but entertaining nonetheless
