It's been a while since I've read Lynch's work and was bouncing on me feet to get back into the world,
And let me tell you , it hasn't disappointed. Lynch's words pull you from the first chapter and deposit you back to the piss soaked and canal studded city of Camorr. You really feel as though you're back in Camorr with the gang. While you feel the absence of Jean, meeting Father chains back feels like meeting an old friend again.
The only downside, if I have to nitpick, is that the story ends a bit abruptly. But again, as I said, it's nitpicking.
But for the actual physical book itself I'm a bit torn. The paper quality is impeccable. It feels thick and luscious, if that makes sense. Thee paper is so thick that the words feel as if they are embossed into the paper. You can actually see and feel the depth of the actual printed letter. That being said, I really dislike the cover. It looks like a cheap second-hand book you would get at a flea market. At this price point, I would have expected a proper dustjacket. I understand the rising cost of material, but speaking only as a customer, its too expensive. Overall, while the physical book is good, truth be told, it's not worth the price. You essentially have paid $150 for a book that had quite a terrible cover and only 50 pages. While I'll always treasure the book, for those who feel that they missed out on getting the book, you made a smarter decision by not buying the book.
A 4/5 for the story, A 3/5 for the physical book
