All the male characters were practically indistinguishable from one another. I was almost at the end and one of them was mentioned and I thought, who the hell is that? It took me completely out of the story. I'm still confused about who he was and he played a pivotal role in the plot.

Novel

Having not looked at this too closely when I bought it, I was under the impression that was the novel the TV series was based on. Instead, this is a novelisation of the TV series, then re-released to tie in with the remake of the series.
