Having followed the TV series, I thought it was a good idea to buy later in the book ... oops .. bad idea! the pavement is only for great big enthusiasts !! (I am not one!) Normal that the book is so big ... we have an impression of "filling"! It is permanently embedded in an infinite number of more detailed anecdotes each other, countless new characters .. I am lost and got drunk! I read a few chapters and the final .. I have not seen any story progression .. Too much detail, too many characters ... no interest
