Coming it at over 700 pages, this took me a few days to get through, and the first story struggled to hold my attention, despite me having little else to do on a delayed train. The second however, provided some much needed humorous moments which made getting through the last few hundred pages a lot easier. It's not a great double series book, but it certainly passed an afternoon.
