Som vanligt behöver man lite tålamod för att ta sig över tröskeln i inledningen (i mitt tycke precis som i Stäppvargen ), men sen blir det bättre. Dock tycker jag att den är en aning långdragen i sina utläggningar emellanåt och det tar en god stund innan man kommer till sak så att säga. Som alltid, trevligt språk.
