Title: HOW TO RUIN A GOOD STORY
Review: The basic story is fascinating, but George has expanded it beyond belief. Long, useless passages abound. Flowery descriptions of every possibe venue,and adjectival overkill make this basically intriguing tale into a never ending bore. One tolerates pages of unnecessary prose in the hope of coninuing the central theme. I assume that the author is striving for a "big book". but achieves a fatally overwritten tome.
