    1.0 out of 5 stars He must have been paid by the word...
    Reviewed in the United States on 23 April 2025
    Imagine that you know someone who takes an enormous amount of time to get to the point. Then, imagine that he's written a series
    of stories. If you like pages and pages of background details which have nothing to do with the point of the story then you'll enjoy this author. Otherwise, buyer beware.
