Query: Overly Verbose

This author basically spends the entire novel writing to "hear" himself write. There would be PAGES of babbling that had nothing to do with the plot in the middle of a chapter, which I would simply skip because they bored me so much. After I got about 200 pages into it, I had found that my mind wandered throughout the entire book and I decided to just put it away and not finish it.
