It ended up being a long series of statements, but nothing especially probing. Perhaps that's "punchy", but I just felt it didn't work. *Character development*: the author tries to develop character, but the style seems to be very short sentences and equally short developments. I strongly recommend listening to the audio sample, in case, as it was to me, this is deeply irritating to you. ![]() ![]() It didn't sound right, and felt like a London accent trying to be geordie.
