Fun, fast-paced reading...and yes, a little tighter in the writing and editing.

I liked it, but at what 700 plus pages, I would have liked it a lot more if it had been, say, 500?<br /><br />Not digging at the author, that's what editors are for, but I was always told when writing, as in many things, less is more. I'm not looking for Don Winslow-esque clipped phrases (which are also awesome), just a little more tightness.<br /><br />Matt<br />St PaulAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-5945176317202505922010-09-28T09:58:52.937-04:002010-09-28T09:58:52.937-04:00Ordered.Ordered.Noah Dnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-61127991360201175872010-09-28T09:49:25.628-04:002010-09-28T09:49:25.628-04:00Good point.
