Title: too long for the story it had to tell
Review: I came to this book through a friend who loved it so much she was rereading it. My expectations were too high. It needed considerable editing. Someone to ask the author some hard questions. Things didn't hold together and it was too long. As a first book all I can say is that the author has better works ahead of him if he finds a good editor who can help him. Good luck to him.
