This one seemed to have a little more than normal. I do think their books are too long in general but I really couldn't say what to take out of this one. My other complaint is I really wish Dgosta was less Watson-like. Give him something other than being loyal as a dog. The book is full of little "did you know" factoids that maybe are crammed in for no reason but much loved by this trivia fan. The story is ridiculous but it doesn't leave me feeling like I'm an idiot for enjoying the ride. The intro scene should surely hook anyone. So weird.
