Review: Is there such a thing as over-writing?

Just could not read this.  Maybe if I could have stuck it out past the first few flips it would have settled down and actually told the story rather than having everything described in strange metaphors.  This is the second book I've read where I've had to stop because the attempt to be descriptive overwhelms everything else to the point where it's hard for me to figure out what the author is even trying to say.  After about the fourth time of having to re-read a sentence because six or more words [sometimes correctly hyphenated, sometimes not] were used instead of the one perfect adjective, I stopped.Seemed like the characters might have been interesting and likeable but I couldn't get far enough into the story to comment on much else.
