![]() The reader wants ACTION to drive the plot. What they really mean is not that they want a shorter book. FOR FRANK PERETTI TO READ: From one writer to another: I know people have told you the book is too long. Get ready for a headache, loads of rewinding––and you better have a hardcopy to follow along. Buy this ONLY if you have a project or homework assignment on this book for your school and you want to be able to pack a month's worth of reading into a couple of hours. But on top of this, we were bombarded with a slew of characters and descriptions without space or action to process the information. ![]() Even having read part of the book before, I was unable to follow the story! The narrator was drowned by background music. My wife and I listened to fifteen minutes of this and just could not take any more. ![]() They say less is more––but in this case, although there are less pages, there is just too much going on in too little space. It takes a long time for the action to happen, but arguably there is a payoff. I consider the UN-abridged version of this book to be too lengthy in description–– every scene is over-described, full of fluffy description to the point of frustration. ![]()
