For being such a popular series (both book and tv show), this was one of THE MOST boring books ever!! If not for a book club, I would have NEVER finished this one! The main character is so spacey and ADD(ish) that I got annoyed a ton. The paragraph would start talking about one thing and end up talking about something else. Another thing that bothered me, is that a chapter/section would start with more than one person, but you don't actually find out who the other person is until a couple pages later. Sometimes you could guess who Walt was talking to, other times you could not. I really did not enjoy this book and will not continue on with the series!
