I bought this book on the assumption that since it was written by the author of the series that it would be at least comparable to the other books. It wasn't.

I very, very rarely skip parts in a book. I found that I skipped entire chapters, due to the extreme repetitiveness and blather about issues that had already been covered within the book, let alone the series itself. The tiny, tiny bit of 'story' that was included within the text was pitiful, in that it was not believable considering the characters anyone who has read the series knows so well. I stuck with the book to the bitter end, in hopes that something would happen that would make it all worthwhile, but was disappointed.

I feel like this book wasn't even written by Jean, and if it was, she wasn't in her right mind. I bought the book because waiting for it on PBS was taking too long, and now I wish I'd waited. I don't think I've ever been this let down by an author.
