Query: I really wanted to like this book.

Unfortunately - it is an incoherent mess.The "author" talks more about talking about talking about the project than actually talking about the project - and no; those aren't typos...The reader is victimized by the author into reading several chapters about how the "manuscript" was discovered, blah, blah, blah; etc.Pretty much the same drivel as in his other books.I actually wanted to like the book, and read the book - unfortunately I went insane trying to unravel the morass of story, back-story, flashbacks, autobiographical elements, and tangents.A very bad attempt at forcing oneself into creating a novel from a short-story - there is WAY too much filler material that has nothing to do with the actual story.
