Summary looks good and makes me want to get this book. Out of the 14 pages aloud, page 13 and 14 or actually where the story starts. There is so much unnecessary background in the first dozen pages. I thought I had gotten the wrong book. I still think the premise is good so I would like to see where the story goes. Though I do think the author gets too absorbed in details. After the 7th person has a comment on something, you begin to wonder about the story.
