Best for readers who...
Good fit if you want...
Reliable fit when you want history that explains the why behind events. A stronger fit when you want a context-first history pick. If humor is important, the chapters move briskly from one reveal to the next.
Maybe skip if...
Not the best pick if you need a radically different tone from this lane. Probably a mismatch if you want a much lighter or punchier style than this offers.
