Engaging and interesting.
Leave it to Bob to make an otherwise monochromatic and dull topic into something interesting and hard to stop listening to. The narration is also top notch as it turned an otherwise droning topic into something like a science fiction.
The book is well written and offers as a glimpse into the inner workings of an otherwise mysterious organization.
