Audio version. Narrator brought the characters and story to life well, yet often used the same voice. It proved an enjoyable alternative festive book with lots of dark intrigue. However, it was incredibly longer than needed to be.

A thread.
Slacked with reading for the past few years. I'm keen to delve right back into the magic of the written word. I've set a target number of books by this time next year. From philosophical to thrillers, comedic to horrors, historical to sci-fi. All genres beckon me.
I understand the appeal. It's delightfully short yet resounding in what it endeavours to convey. A novel of emptiness rejuvenated by empathy. Yet it feels empty itself. Lacking in logic, reasonings and story. While fond of the descriptions, I was not held by the book.

Gutted. Half PB of 1 hour & 56 minutes. New PB just 1 minute quicker; 10 shy of goal. Health & other shit impacted the final weeks training. Got the Flu last weekend too. But, got a Halloween medal for 100km distance within October. Both payments going to charity. Silver linings.
If there's one thing I know about Bob Holly, he would beat the absolute fuck out of a guy pretending to be Bob Holly on twitter.

“My father was fisherman. Going to work from 2am to 10am every day for 50 years. This is hard in life, not being a football player”.
