Eh, this book whilst it was written just as well was boring as hell. I could not get into William as a character, he just seemed dull and a total snoozefest. I didn't go too much on him back in Spring, but as he was not the main character it wasn't too bad.
William is set up to be a good guy, in a series with people complete with flaws I believe William was meant to be considered the best of them. Sadly this wasn't the case. He was just as bad as young (and oldish) Tim. I did not think there would be a character that I found worse then Tim. But apparently I could. That stated I have to say, outside of his relationships with his friends and family William was an excellent character, I could have read about his time in the Coast Guard for hours.
In his mind, William was all about being honest, and faithful and a good partner. But he rarely actually succeeded at this. I found that he was actually the complete opposite of everything he believed in. Unlike all the other characters I found that he didn't evolve throughout the course of the book, he was basically the same guy throughout its entirety.
Don't get me wrong, it was still an excellent book. But I would probably skip half of it when it came to my next read through the series.

Also his thing for Ben and Tim was a bit creepy. But geeze, that scene with Steve was probably the best one in this entire series so farDon't get me wrong, it was still an excellent book. But I would probably skip half of it when it came to my next read through the series.
