Query: WAY TOO LONG!

For every decent sentence in this book, there are another 20 sentences that could easily have been cut from the manuscript altogether. That is the biggest problem with this book...it is way too long. WAY TOO LONG!!! In fact, I am having a hard time remembering another book that is as guilty of being this unnecessarily long. This novel was originally self-published, and what I read is the alleged "edited" version. I have no idea what types of things the author's editor was doing all the time he or she was working on this book, but editing was certainly not among them. It's a shame, because there are definitely some good things about this book, and it would be a great and interesting story...if it was approximately 300 pages shorter. That's all.
