I liked the show but there’s a reason Shawn and Gus were on tv for 60 minutes not in a book for 275 pages. 

While I enjoyed certain aspects of the story I felt that it dragged on unnecessarily. It could have ended 50 to even 100 pages before it actually did. The writing isn't the greatest thing I've ever read, there were a lot of mistakes and poorly chosen words choices but overall it was an okay read.

This book suffers from too much of a good thing. The basis of any TV novelization is that it benefits from having pre-existing characters that readers will recognize and they don't have to do any character building. However this book includes too many possible mysteries (which are wrapped up in the end of course) and too many new characters are introduced that are crucial to the plot in some way that it takes away from the novelization part. There are two chapters from the POV of characters exclusive to the book. The plot itself is pretty interesting, but detracts from the humor due to the amount of detail. There also isn't as much joking banter as the first novel but the banter itself is better written. Not a bad followup to the first novel.
