Query: A story that tried

I think the idea of this story was worth telling, but that was the problem. It was told, not shown. I kept waiting for some action. All I read was narrative. It was as if some person was sitting there telling you about it, but you never watched it on the screen.The ending seemed improbable. I wanted some kind of revenge but the 'epilogue' left me angry. Wasn't that the point of the book? I wish this one could be rewritten with more of the action shown. It wouldn't have been a bad read then. It won't stop me from picking up another one of his books.
