Query: Wordiness kills this story

I'll keep it short and to the point. The story itself would be OK, but this book is so incredibly wordy, I found myself saying "shut up and get on with it" too often. The author details everything, and what's worse, is redundant. I don't need to hear that the priest has strikingly blue eyes every time he's injected into the story. The story is further damaged by the reading of Dennis Boutsikaris. Any sentence that started with "yes" or "no" was articulated ridiculously. Nobody talks like that and it gets very irritating very quickly listening to someone read like this. I only finished these CD's because I invested too much time listening to the first 3 while giving it a chance. Strip away all of the nonsense and tell the story with a little more precision and it would be a pretty good book. But with the extreme excessive wordiness, I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone.
