Love the show, decided to check out the books. Tough to get Welliver, Reddick, and Hector out of my head... so gave up trying. A lot of unnecessary description, mainly of character actions. Stuff like: He bought a lighter because he couldn't use matches due to his arm so he lit the cigarette with the lighter and took a drag then exhaled. The second book is 70 fewer pages, so will see if things tighten up.
Good story, but I don't see anyone born after 1990 enjoying this book.
