He consistently brings authentic, hard-edged characters to the forefront in an engaging manner. The story maintains a touch of humor amidst its more grave themes, offering a unique blend of seriousness and levity.

Worst Parts

In the story, the personalities of most characters appear quite typical, apart from Bobby, who stands out significantly.
