I think Gilligan would have slowed things down a hair in past seasons and built up the suspense a bit more (although the train robbery scene was top notch).

It felt rushed at times to me as well. You have to keep in mind though that all the previous seasons combined take place in a span of less than one year whereas the final season alone takes about one year. So there's bound to be a lot of smaller details left out in the final season (like the music montage where Walt was cooking uneventfully for 3 months). So the big events like heists are probably occuring with the same frequency as before but because of the more condensed timeframe appear more often during the season.

We don't know when the book actually appeared there. Someone above mentioned it was under the watch earlier in the season, so perhaps it was put there very recently. Maybe Skylar found it while tidying up the bedroom and decided to put it in the bathroom.
