Pros and Cons--my rating is based on the cons of this book

The pros of this book are very short--it starts out with a fairly good storyline--that's it

The cons are numeral--way way too long 570+ pages that could've been done in 300, why you ask? The repeat and the descriptions are just too numerous to tell so here's a couple--once you learn why Mace was in prison that is enough but yet it is repeated again and again until you are just sick of it, along with the woman that was killed and fell out of the refrigerator when opened, once it's told is enough but it is repeated over and over and it just gets boring, then you have all the unnecessary descriptions, okay we know she has a Ducati motorcycle but why keep repeating it, and why do we need to know every stitch of clothing they wear? not necessary to the story, and why do we need to know what they put in their mouth bite by bite? again not necessary!

I'm not saying don't read this book but I am saying beware of the all the useless pages of the above.
