Yeah, it's like they took all the backstory and character building stuff they did before writing and just dumped it in the book. It really doesn't need to be there. It's good for you to know all that stuff about your characters, but it's not really necessary for the story. (I am also of the opinion that most physical description is irrelevant as well, especially if getting the info across requires any character admiring themselves in the mirror.)
