One, two, .. Tommy's coming for you....
Beats PBI II and III... by a noticeable margin.
The story line is way more focused. Yes, there are peripheral characters as in the other "books", but here, we have a more singular approach, where Tommy is the focal point and everything that happens kind of revolves around him.
And it works. Well.
It's kind of like Howard Stern - "you just wanna tune in to see what he says or does next."
This was sorely lacking in the previous 3 series, which were structured by overly drawn out plot lines involving too many characters.
In my opinion, this is the "book" they should have come out with first, and just ran with it.
This could easily run a few seasons, and it's a solid 8/10.
I rate the previous "books" a 6.5/10 comparatively.
Plus, ...that car !!
