Review: Only finished it because I'm persistent

This story was way too long and had several many-page boring parts that I basically skimmed over and skipped. I decided about three times I was not going to finish reading this story, but continued to read after taking a break to read several other stories, only because I cannot leave a story unfinished, it conflicts with my OCD.This story could have been told in about 1/4 the length and been just as, if not more, effective. The premise of the story is good and very unique, but the climax that is built up to throughout the story is kind of anti-climactic when you get there. The author seems to have a good grasp of the English language and can spell (a refreshing change), but just seems to add a lot of filler into the story that doesn't add a lot of detail.I didn't appreciate the digs towards the end of the story about Republicans and gun owners.  I'm not sure if this was an intentional agenda or just the author's personal politics creeping into the story.Mr.  Flynn, leave out the politics and gun views, shorten it up, and I will read more of your stuff. But if this is your way to push your politics (no matter the view, I don't pick sides), forget it, I'm out. There is enough politics in the news every day, no matter who you watch, and I read fiction to take a little break from it.
