Review title: much too wordy
Product review: The basic plot and characters are fine, for an action/semi-science fiction book. But the writing style is awful in many places. Action scenes are bogged down by excessive detail. Characters stop in the middle of action to muse on some past experience, and the same memories are repeated throughout the book. Information is repeated in successive chapters, as though the reader will have forgotten what she read twenty pages ago. The book needed to be edited down to no more than half its length, in my opinion.
