I was expecting something a bit more. It has not trumped the show. Could be because I know what will happen and that’s why I find it lacking. There are no usual pet peeves of mine - the characters are well developed, the dialogue is ok. Maybe I could do without the transcripts of the interviews after the fact. However, what makes this book good is that the writers of the TV series could’ve taken it all, and almost copy paste it to create something quite brilliant.
