Query: too simplistic for belief

This novel needs about three revisions. The real story concerns the people who live in the town. Their interactions and relationships have created evil. Evil is not an outside force (the dragon); it is the selfishness of the individuals who want glory or power or money for themselves. Only Levi, whom many consider unbalanced, holds respect for humanity in his heart. If the author had bothered to make his characters more three dimensional and if had the talent to depict their personalities and actions upon each other, this might be a good book. As it stands, it is simplistic and unconvincing.
