Title: Bloated
Product review: This is not a novel for the casual reader. This book can not stand on it's own. The author has done wonderful job of developing characters with a plausible plot line however too much time is spent in development. The author has spent so much time in character/plot development that the story itself has taken a back seat. Without reading the first part(s) in the series and without the knowledge that another novel will be added to the list this would not be worth buying. It is simply literary filler. If you love detailed characters and an above average plot line this is the book for you. If you want the above and at least part of a natual conclusion to some of participants - forget it. The book starts in the middle and never finishes. After three tries something should have been accomplished even if the story does continue for ANOTHER sequal.
