Query: I really wanted to like this book

I love the premise of this book. I don't mind the stretches of imagination the story requires. The problem that I have is in the writing and editing. There are several problems that leap out at you right away. The dialog needs work. While there is the start of some good witty repartee, it seems that is the only way characters in this book interact. The author needs to dial that back a bit and provide some basis for the characters to engage like that. Whie I like the characters, they need to be introduced slower, and you need to be given some understanding of them before you can care about them. Some of the primary characters act quite childish and incredibly emotional. There are few well balanced personalities evident, and that makes it are to relate.I think this is a good raw start of a book in need of a strong professional editor.
