CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 2.0 based on 1 review)

Too much and too little  
The plot concept was strong but I became lost in rhetoric and description. The author enjoys certain liberties for decscriptions that hurt the overall imagery of the piece. Overall I found it to not be a waste of time but caused my time to be wasted in excessive wordings.
