Review title: Having a hard time getting into this, may not finish
Product review: While I can see that the author is a skilled writer and much of this is very imaginative, I am having a hard time substaining interest. The book's 710 page length is probably a warning sign. After 100 pages, the reader had better be caught--well, I'm still not caught! May slug on for a while longer. Again, while the writer is very skillful, if ever a book cried out for a good editing, this one does. It's simply too long and does drag. Squalor and decay get tiresome. A pity so few editors really edit books any longer; it often shows as with Perdido Street Station.
